Adjudication was introduced in construction contracts as a
requirement of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration
Act in 1998 to tackle the large number of disputes which dog most
projects. Provisions for adjudication are now included in all
standard construction forms and are implied into all construction
contracts that do not expressly include them.
When adjudication was first launched there were enormous
uncertainties about how it would work in practice, and books
published to coincide with the launch could only speculate on
this.
This new guide, written by a construction lawyer and experienced
adjudicator, is the first to explain how adjudication is actually
working in practice. It covers all the major court decisions which
have clarified enforcement, adjudicator errors and problems such as
definition of construction contracts, jurisdiction, insolvency,
natural justice and human rights. It also deals with the complex
requirements of the legislation regarding payment terms.
This will provide a highly readable, but authoritative guide for
all involved in adjudications, whether contracts directors,
construction consultants, lawyers or adjudicators.
