Questions whether the changes introduced by the Housing, Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (which introduced an adjudication procedure to settle arguments) are really the best way of settling construction disputes. Notes that adjudication is increasingly being used for disputes over more than interim payments. A possible option would be to limit adjudication to disputes up to the practical completion of a project, so that the procedure is used merely to get the process completed.
