  • Professional Negligence Claims - Architects, Builders and Surveyors Affected

    Providers of professional indemnity insurance in the UK have revealed the massive increases in premiums over the past two years for Architects, Builders and Surveyors following the Grenfell Tower tragedy in June 2017. The high-rise fire at Grenfell, in which 72 people died and 70 more were injured, was the UK’s worst residential fire since the WW2.

The jingle, originally composed by Frenchman Michael Boumendil, is used by French national railway company SNCF throughout its 20,000 mile network. Gilmour, who joined Pink Floyd in 1967, first heard the jingle when travelling across France in 2013. In an interview with Le Parisien in 2015, he claimed that the up-baet 2-second piece made him “..want to sing and dance”. Gilmour subsequently contacted sonic branding specialist Boumendil, asking if he could use the jingle in a separate song. Alledged breach of contract Once Boumendil realised that the request was genuine and that he wasn’t being pranked, an agreement was reached between them and SNCF in 2015 and Boumendil received a co-writing...
