The Statutory Provisions Relating to Adjudication

Abstract

The provisions relating to adjudication are set out in Part II of the 1996 Act, as amended by the 2009 Act. They are included at Appendix A. The Scheme for Construction Contracts is at Appendix B. The early cases in which the principles behind Part II were considered by the courts remain of critical importance. In Macob Civil Engineering Ltd v Morrison Construction Ltd, the adjudicator had directed that Morrison should pay Macob £302,366.34 plus VAT, interest and fees. The principal dispute in the adjudication concerned the agreement between the parties as to the relevant dates for payment.
