The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) published the fourth edition of the TCC Guide on 1 July 2026, replacing the previous edition issued in October 2022. While the overarching purpose of the guide remains unchanged, the 2026 edition introduces a number of significant developments reflecting legislative changes and the increasing use of technology within dispute resolution.
Perhaps the most striking theme running throughout the new guide is the court’s expectation that parties should engage with procedural and strategic issues at a much earlier stage. The message from the TCC is clear: disputes should be alternative dispute resolution (ADR), disclosure and costs ready and electronically organised before the first case management conference (CMC), rather than afterwards.
