Under construction
Series: Estates Gazette ; (0138) 22 September 2001, 188(1)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: The chief aim of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 was to speed up the resolution of disputes within the building industry, through the introduction of adjudication. In the first of two articles the authors consider whether Construction Act adjudication can apply to property transactions. Notes that the 1996 Act applies to "construction contracts", but warns that the definition of a construction contract given in the Act is very wide. Also notes that any dispute that arises in a construction contract can be referred to adjudication, and that if a construction contract does not contain its own adjudication provisions a statutory adjudication scheme applies.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
