Contractual Adjudication

Abstract

Part II of the Housing Grants (Construction and Regeneration) Act 1996 (‘the 1996 Act’), as amended, requires all construction contracts to have an adjudication procedure that complies with s108: see s108(5). The same section makes plain that if the construction contract in question does not contain adjudication provisions that comply with s108(1)–(4), then the Scheme for Construction Contracts will apply. It is therefore envisaged that the construction contract will include its own adjudication provisions.
