Beginning with a consideration of collateral warranties, conversation will also cover the Engine Yard Edinburgh Limited and Allenbuild Limited v Bayne Steven Associates limited, and Abbey Healthcare (Mill Hill) Ltd v Augusta 2008 LLP (formerly Simply Construct (UK) LLP) cases with the alternative of third-party rights being the final point of discussion.
