Resource Recovery Solutions (Derbyshire) Ltd (in administration) v Derbyshire County Council & Derby City Council [2023] EWHC 708 (TCC)
Key Principle
On a summary judgment / strike-out application raising short points of contractual interpretation, the court may determine the construction issues where the claimant has no real prospect of succeeding on its contended construction; the proper construction of the contract is assessed objectively against its language and the project (here a long-term waste-management PFI/Project Agreement) context.
