Adjudication is now the most common form of resolution of construction contract disputes. Not only is it a faster process but also typically less expensive than arbitration or litigation.
Parties to adjudication require quick advice, whether they are thinking of commencing an adjudication, or are on the receiving end of an adjudication notice. The Wright Hassall construction team is continuously engaged in adjudications. We advise on all the issues that adjudication brings into play: whether any particular contract can be adjudicated; whether the adjudication has been properly started and whether the adjudicator has been validly appointed; and also on the best means of enforcing adjudication decisions.
We will advise parties if adjudication is the most suitable procedure to follow and we have sufficient strength and depth to be able to respond on behalf of the parties defending claims.
We have been involved in a number of Court cases which have changed the law of adjudication, and we ensure that we have constant up to date knowledge. Philip Harris is an adjudicator who has handled many high profile adjudications.
