Your word against mine
Series: Building ; 266(8185) 18 May 2001, 58-59(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Considers the argument that engineers can deal with disputes without appointing an outside adjudicator, by calling a dispute a 'matter of dissatisfaction'. The ICE standard form document does allow for dispute resolution and the decision of an ICE adjudictor is enforceable due to the law of contract. However, this does not prevent either party from calling for an adjudicator under the Construction Act 1996 at any time, to avoid the ICE's one month time period. Also explains the problem of ambushes which occur when one party calls in an adjudictor before a dispute has fully matured.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
