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
Article 3: Enforcing (and resisting enforcement) an adjudicator's determination
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.
For tailored guidance and support in adjudication, or if you would like to discuss any of the themes highlighted in our adjudication series, contact our team of dedicated construction law experts.
