Highlights

• A £1 million+  breach of contract/damages claim involving local authority clients and a waste disposal company involving a dispute over terms under a Public Procurement contract  for collection,  disposal  and recycling of substantial quantities of domestic waste from 77,000 households.  
• A high value Commercial Agency dispute following breakdown of an Agency Agreement of more than 20 years standing.  An area of law fertile for argument, in particular over compensation payable on termination made for a complex and contentious cross border dispute under the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993.
• Defence of a breach of warranty claim following the sale of a Dental Practice involving a post settlement dispute over the value of the business and associated income stream. Strong advice led to a wholly successful rebuttal of a sizeable claim.
• A dispute for local authority clients involving a Public Procurement contract valued in excess of £3 million. An action by a disappointed economic operator who sought to establish that a tendering process conducted by the contracting authority was unlawful and in breach of Regulation 4(3) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 was successfully repelled following Lindsays’ purposeful  intervention.
• An international best seller and blockbuster film prompted an interesting Intellectual Property dispute for Lindsays (successfully resolved) after photographs of our client’s historic building were subject to unauthorised use by opportunist third parties. 
• Conduct of a number of high value actions involving disputes over Wills, including actions for reduction, primarily on the grounds of fraud, and facility and circumvention.
