The document titled 'BAD PENNIES' discusses the common law right to claim interest in the context of adjudications under the Construction Contracts Act 2002. It highlights the historical reluctance of English law to award compound interest on late payments, emphasizing that interest can only be claimed if there is a contractual agreement or specific statutory provisions. The paper references recent legal opinions, particularly from the House of Lords in Sempra Metals v Commissioner of Inland Revenue, which challenge longstanding rules against awarding interest and suggest that actual losses due to late payment should be recoverable. The author argues for clarity in applying these principles within construction contracts and adjudications.
