Bringing up baby - 2003 - Building 268(8280) 25 April 2003, 60-61(2) .
Examines the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 which is now five years old. This Act brings in completely new rules for payment and payments notices and bans 'pay when paid'. Argues that the new Act is working as more than 10 000 formal adjudication appointments have been made indicating that contractors have faith in it. Adjudication is popular because it belongs to the industry, is not just a lawyer's invention and the alternatives to it are not good enough. Also notes that adjudicators need to have a practical certificate which demonstrates they are keeping up to date with the system and construction law.
