GS Woodland Court GP 1 Ltd & Anor v RGCM Ltd & Ors [2026] EWHC 351 (TCC) (19 February 2026)

GS Woodland Court GP 1 Ltd & Anor v RGCM Ltd & Ors [2026] EWHC 351 (TCC) (19 February 2026)

It would be unfair to require the claimant to proceed to trial on quantum when, due to the BSR's rejection of its remedial scheme, it cannot lawfully implement the pleaded scheme or credibly quantify its losses. However, a split trial is appropriate: the June 2026 hearing will proceed on liability issues only, with quantum to be determined later once the remedial scheme position is clarified.

Procedural Posture

Civil (technology & Construction Court) / Interlocutory Application for Adjournment; Case Management Order

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the trial should be adjourned due to the rejection of the claimant's remedial scheme by the Building Safety Regulator (BSR)
  2. 2 Whether a split trial (liability/quantum) is appropriate in the circumstances
  3. 3 Impact of BSR approval process on case management and quantification of loss

Ratio Decidendi

It would be unfair to require the claimant to proceed to trial on quantum when, due to the BSR's rejection of its remedial scheme, it cannot lawfully implement the pleaded scheme or credibly quantify its losses. However, a split trial is appropriate: the June 2026 hearing will proceed on liability issues only, with quantum to be determined later once the remedial scheme position is clarified.

Court Disposition

Application to adjourn the entirety of the proceedings refused; trial to proceed on liability only, with quantum adjourned.

Orders

  • June 2026 hearing to proceed on liability issues only; quantum issues adjourned to a later date.
  • Parties to agree a granular list of issues for the liability trial; disagreements to be resolved at the pre-trial review.
