Papamuri
I roto i te whakarite mō te Ipu Whutupōro o te Ao 2015, i tukuna ki te RFU te mahi ki te whakarite kia tau ngā papa tākaro kua tohua o Ingarangi mō ngā kēmu. Ko te mahi nui ko te pakari o Twickenham. Hei wāhanga o te mahi, i utua e te RFU a Clark Smith Partnership Limited ki te hoahoa i ngā paipa hei tautoko i ngā taura hiko ngaohiko teitei puta noa i te papa tākaro. Kātahi ka utua e te RFU te kamupene ratonga hanganga a FM Conway ki te tāuta i ngā paipa.
He rārangi o ngā whakaaetanga
I te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero a te RFU me FM Conway, i hainatia he raupapa whakaaetanga i waenganui i te tokorua.
Ko te tuatahi he reta whakamana (te reta ). E rua ngā wāhanga he mea tino hira. I roto i te wāhanga 3 i kīia ko te whāinga o ngā rōpū he haina i tētahi kirimana i runga i te JCT Standard Building Contract Without Quantities 2011 (te kirimana JCT ). He mea nui tēnei nā te mea kei roto i te kirimana JCT he kaupapa here inihua mō ngā tūponotanga katoa. I taua wā, i roto i te wāhanga 21 i kīia ko te reta hei whakakapi i tētahi atu tohutohu, whakaaetanga rānei kei roto i ētahi atu tuhinga reta.
I tēnei wā, i whakarite hoki te RFU kia inihuatia ki a Royal & Sun Alliance Limited (te kaiinihua ). I whakaae te RFU me FM Conway mā te RFU e hoko inihua mā FM Conway. I whakaritea angitu tēnei, ā, i uru atu a FM Conway ki te RFU i runga i te kaupapa here inihua (te kaupapa here ).
I roto i te rarangi 1(f) o te kaupapa here he kupu i whakakore i ngā mana whakakapinga. I raro i te kaupapa here o te whakakapinga, ka taea e te kaiinihua te whakahoki mai i tana mate mā te whai ture i te rōpū nāna i puta te kino i herea te kaiinihua ki te hipoki. I te mea kua whakakorea tēnei mana, ka tiakina e te kaupapa here te RFU me te FM Conway mai i te whai ture a te kaiinihua. Heoi, i whakamāramahia i muri mai i roto i te Kōti Matua me te Kōti Pīra, ka pā tēnei mēnā ehara rātou i te take o te kino i hipokina.
E toru marama i muri i te whakaritenga a te RFU i te inihua, ka hainatia e te RFU me FM Conway te kirimana JCT.
Ka whiua e FM Conway te pōro
I te tata mai o te Ipu Whutupōro o te Ao 2015, i kitea he wai me he paru i roto i ngā awaawa o Twickenham. Neke atu i te £4 miriona te utu mō ngā mahi maha hei whakakapi i ngā awaawa hapa, ā, i tono te RFU i tētahi kereme i raro i te kaupapa here. I utua e te kaiinihua te £3 miriona o tēnei, ā, nō reira i tono te RFU i te £1 miriona whakamutunga mai i a FM Conway.
I whakaarohia hoki e te kaiinihua ko FM Conway te kawenga, ā, i whakamahia e ia ōna mana whakakapinga ki a FM Conway hei whakahoki mai i tana mate. Nō reira, ka tīmata a FM Conway i ngā whakawakanga ki te RFU me te kaiinihua, me te tautohe he inihua tahi, ā, nā reira, kāore e taea e te RFU te tono utu mō ngā utu kino ki a ia, ā, kāore e taea e te kaiinihua te whai i ana mana whakakapinga.
I tautohetia te whānuitanga o tēnei hipoki i waenganui i ngā rōpū. I tautohe te RFU me te kaiinihua kāore ō rāua mana ki te kereme utu i whakakorea nā te mea kāore a FM Conway i hipokina e te kaupapa here. I whakaae te Kōti Matua ki tēnei, ā, i piira a FM Conway ki te Kōti Pīra.
I whakatau te Kōti Pīra i te RFU me te kaiinihua kia whiua
Tuatahi, kāore i kitea e te Kōti he raruraru mō te tautuhi i a FM Conway hei rōpū inihua. E toru ngā rōpū i tautuhia e te kaupapa here hei tāngata inihua , ā, e rua o ēnei wāhanga i pā ki ngā kaimahi kirimana.
Heoi, ko te kaupapa matua o te take, e ai ki tā Lord Justice Coulson, ahakoa kua inihuatia a A rāua ko B i raro i te kaupapa here kotahi, ehara i te mea ko A rāua ko B anake kua hipokina mō te mate kotahi, kāore rānei e taea te kereme tetahi ki tetahi . I whakaae a Lord Justice Coulson he mea rerekē pea ahakoa he inihua tahi a FM Conway i raro i te kaupapa here, he rerekē tana hipoki. [2] Me te whakaaro ki tēnei, me whai whakaaro te kooti ki te hiahia o ngā rōpū me te pehea i uru ai ki te whānuitanga o te hipoki. I kōrero te Kooti me pēhea te mahi i tēnei.
Tirohia te kirimana matua hei whakaaroaro i te mana me te whāinga
I whakaae te Kōti Pīra ki te Kōti Matua kia whakaarohia tēnei kaupapa inihua he kaupapa here inihua whakakotahi; he tikanga hei wetewete i ngā take inihua-tahi i whakawhanakehia tuatahitia i roto i te General Accident Fire and Life Assurance Corporation Limited & Anor v Midland Bank Limited . [3] Ko te tikanga o tēnei me whakaaro ia tangata kua inihua-tahi me te mea he kaupapa here tā rātou ake. Kātahi ka whakamāramahia e te kirimana matua te hiahia o ngā rōpū mō te whānuitanga o aua kaupapa here. I roto i te Gard Marine Energy Limited v China National Chartering Co Limited & Anor , [4] i tautuhia e Lord Justice Coulson ko te take matua mō te take, i kiia te kirimana matua he mea nui ki te aromatawai i tēnei whānuitanga. Mena ko te hiahia o te kirimana matua he iti ake te kapinga, kātahi ka tukuna.
Te hiranga o te kirimana JCT
I tautohe a FM Conway kāore te kirimana JCT i rite te hiranga ki te kaupapa here, nā te mea kua hainatia te kaupapa here i ngā marama e toru i mua i te kirimana JCT. I whakatau a Lord Justice Coulson kāore he mātāpono i roto i te ture Ingarihi e kī ana kāore he pānga whakamuri o tētahi kirimana i tēnei ara. He pono rawa tēnei nā te mea i roto i te reta, i hainatia i te tīmatanga o tā rāua whanaungatanga, i tohutohu mārama a) me mahi te kirimana JCT hei whakaaetanga mā rāua; me te b) ko te reta, i whakaū i te kirimana JCT, ka whakakapi i tētahi atu whakaaetanga i waenganui i ngā rōpū. Ahakoa pēhea, i whai mana te Kōti Matua ki te whai pānga ki te kirimana JCT i muri mai.
I whakamāoritia hētia te whakaritenga whakawātea e FM Conway
I tautohe a FM Conway ka taea e ia te whakawhirinaki ki te rarangi 1(f) o te kaupapa inihua. Koinei te tautohe kaha rawa atu, ā, ko te tautohe tika rawa atu a FM Conway, me te whakaae a Lord Justice Coulson ka taea e ia te hinga i ngā tohu katoa engari ka toa i tēnei. Heoi, i roto i te tirohanga a Lord Justice Coulson, he rerekē tēnei i te whakaaro noa arumoni. Nā ōna ake hapa i ngaro ai te hipoki o FM Conway i raro i te kaupapa here. Nō reira, he hua tino whakamiharo mēnā ka taea e FM Conway te kimi hipoki nā tēnei whakakorenga. Ko te whiwhi hipoki tēnei mā te tatau o muri . I tangohia e Lord Justice Coulson te tātari i tangohia i roto i te National Oilwell v (UK) Ltd v Davy Offshore Ltd. [5] I roto i tēnei whakataunga, i whakatauhia he rite tonu te mahi a te rarangi whakakorenga ki te kaupapa arumoni o te kirimana, ā, kāore e taea te whakawhānui kia rite ki tētahi atu whāinga.
Whakamutunga
Ahakoa e whakaatu ana te whakataunga a te Kōti i ngā uauatanga o te inihua-tahi, e tohu ana hoki i ētahi mātāpono mārama. Kāore he pātai ka taea e ngā rōpū te noho i raro i te kaupapa here kotahi; engari ki te mea ko te kaupapa he rerekē ngā taumata hipoki, koinā te mea ka hoatu. Kua whakaū anō te Kōti i te whakaaro noa. Mena nā tētahi rōpū i puta te kino, ā, e kī ana te kaupapa here ka tangohia tana hipoki, kāore e taea e ia te whai hua mai i te whakakorenga o te whakakapinga. Arā, ka takahia e koe, ka hokona e koe.
