Construction Litigation, Scotland

The construction industry in the UK is renowned for its litigation and disputes. When projects span months, or even years, situations can evolve, leading to contentious issues. Often, defects in design may only become apparent long after completion, while unreasonable delays, attributable to one party, can occur.
