The Latham Report and Its Aftermath

Abstract

A graph that indicated the health (and otherwise) of the construction industry in the UK in the twentieth century would make a startling sight: a bewildering series of peaks and troughs that often, but not always, mirrored the wider health of the UK economy. On occasions in the past, many have endeavoured to promote or otherwise help the construction industry, with a record of success that can only be described as mixed. Changing priorities amongst the senior judiciary have not always helped to encourage stability and certainty.
