| Adjudication in Construction Contracts |
|
|
| Edition 2001: Because of the large number of disputes that dog most construction projects, a completely new system of dispute resolution - mandatory adjudication - was introduced in 1998. Designed to address problems more promptly than arbitration or litigation, adjudication is still something of an unknown quantity for the construction industry. 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. |
| | Review of this title : | This book is a must for anyone involved in Adjudication.
Judging by the increasing popularity of Adjudication this could mean most of us.
Adjudication has now been around since 1st May 1998 and has by and large been supported by the courts. From a rather slow start the process has now arguably become an accepted first port of call for those with disputes that do not appear capable of resolution by negotiation. The process is not without its detractors but has generally become acceptable, especially for sub-contractors.
An understanding of the Adjudication process and the accompanying Payments Provisions is now an essential part any senior professionals toolkit be they sub-contractor, contractor, consultant or lawyer.
Don't be put of by the rather dull impression that most legal tomes give out. John Redmond takes the reader through the whole process from start to finish in an interesting and painless manner.
Both construction and legal professionals would find it of value
Each key stage is identified and a step-by-step explanation offered.
The Payments Provisions of the Construction Act are also covered.
The books recent publication is timely, coming as it does almost three years after the introduction of Adjudication. It can now draw upon a significant background of actual case history that has shaped the way that the Construction Act and the various procedures are interpreted and enforced by the courts.
John Redmond's writing style is very readable with each step explained in every day terms with only minimal recourse to legal jargon. He has an ability to retain the reader's attention by raising the sort of practical questions that most readers would find themselves asking and then providing the answers together with examples of the circumstances under which they would apply.
John is the Head of Construction Law at Osborne Clark OWA. He lectures frequently at seminars and conferences and is a regular contributor to the Building magazine. His vast experience in Adjudication and wider legal issues shines through the text.
As an experienced Project Manager and Adjudicator I can recommend the book both as an introduction to the subject and to practicing Adjudicators as a refresher and useful CPD reading. | | Reviewed By : Peter Curtis MCIOB BSc(Hons) |
