With reference to the case of "RJT Consulting Engineers Ltd DM Engineering (NI) Ltd" (2002) examines whether oral contracts are subject to the provisions of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The implication of the case being that all the terms and not just the existence of a contract should be evident in writing if the contract is to be capable of being referred to adjudication.
