More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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.
From the Back Cover
the standard construction contracts now contain provisions for adjudication. Designed to address problems more promptly than arbitration or litigation, adjudication is still something of an unknown quantity for the construction industry. In addition, a number of grey areas are gradually being clarified by the courts.
This book, written by an experienced adjudicator, looks in particular at the practical issues of adjudication and at rules of payment, and examines all the key legal decisions on the subject.

Format:Hardcover
This book is a must for anyone involved in Adjudication. John takes the reader through the whole process from start to finish in an interesting and painless manner. John Reynolds writing stile is very readable with each step explained in every day terms with the minimum of legal jargon. He has the ability to capture the reader's attention by raising the sort of practical questions most readers would find themselves asking, and then providing the answers. It draws on a significant background of case history that has shaped the construction act, and the various procedures are enforced by the courts. As an experienced Quantity Surveyor and Adjudication/Arbitration student I would recommend this book to any construction professional.
