	Christiani & Nielsen Limited v The Lowry Centre Development Company Limited
		Accordingly, The Lowry has sought to recoup liquidated damages for this period and the sum that was awarded by the adjudicator is a substantial part of the sum The Lowry had previously deducted from certified sums otherwise due to Christiani.
		On The Lowry's case, however, The Lowry is entitled to act on the basis that it is entitled to have the deed rectified and, therefore, is entitled in the meantime to deduct liquidated damages for an additional period of 24 weeks.
		The Lowry was, in effect, claiming that Christiani was estopped from relying on the terms of the deed because it had, when executing the deed, sufficient knowledge of The Lowry's pre-contractual intentions and of the erroneous expression of those intentions in the deed.

	The Building
		In 1988, a new arts centre, based at Pier 8, was proposed to raise the cultural profile of the city and bring more businesses and tourism into the area.
		In the end, The Lowry's architectural design is very much of itself; the building stands very much on its own terms against the tough, history-scarred landscape from which it clearly draws such inspiration.
		The colours grow warmer towards the centre, moving from the purple exterior wall and orange balconies to the blue interior of the Lyric Theatre and the red interior of the Quays Theatre.

		At the same time, the Lowry told the contractor that neither party was in a position to adjudicate because the contract had been entered into before 1 May 1998, thus escaping the clutches of the Construction Act.
