Time of the essence in arbitration

Atkinson, Daniel

Time of the essence in arbitration - 2005 - Construction News (6929) 11 August 2005, 33(1) .

Discusses the issue of time of the essence in arbitration particularly when making appeals over an adjudicator's decision. Refers to the case "Lafarge (Aggregates) Ltd v Newham LBC" (see also L130603) where a dispute arose over the dating of an adjudicator's decision and consequently timing of the service of the notice of arbitration. Advises that notice periods in contracts need to be observed strictly as well as understood clearly.
