An alternative resolution

Cohen, R.

An alternative resolution - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0128) 14 July 2001, 136-137(2) .

Considers whether the adjudication process could provide a quicker, cheaper and more effective process than when landlords and tenants pursue a service charge dispute through the courts. Looks at the case of "Fluor Daniel Properties Ltd v Shortlands Investments Ltd" (2001) which illustrates the problems that are encountered in resolving service charge disputes in commercial premises via the courts. Lists the various matters which would need to be included in a model adjudication agreement.
