Welcome to our article series on adjudication – a unique mechanism under the Construction Contracts Act 2002 (CCA) for determining construction disputes.

We have been involved in adjudications since the introduction of the CCA in 2002. In this article series, we draw on our experience to provide insights and guidance on adjudications, across three key themes: understanding adjudication, the adjudication process itself, and commercial and future aspects of adjudication.

Understanding adjudication

This theme encompasses the basics of adjudication, including reasons to adjudicate and determining what issues are suitable for adjudication. It's all about the 'what', ‘when’ and ‘why’ of adjudication.

Article 1: What adjudication is, when to use it and why

The adjudication process

This theme delves into the procedural aspects of adjudication, from the adjudication process itself to enforcing adjudication determinations, and defending enforcement. It gives an overview of the 'how' of adjudication.

Article 2: The adjudication process

Commercial and future aspects of adjudication

This theme focuses on the financial and forward-looking aspects of adjudication. It covers the commercials of and funding adjudications, as well as our expectations for the future of adjudication. It is all about the 'costs' and 'where to next' for adjudication.
