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. In addition, a number of grey areas are gradually being clarified by the courts. 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.
