By: Series: Construction Law Bulletin ; March 2003, 11-14(4)Publication details: 2003Subject(s): Summary: Uses a series of cases and examples to illustrate how adjudication has developed in the five years since its introduction under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (the Construction Act 1996). Examples used are whether an employer's termination is a good reason for withholding payment and when an employer is entitled to withhold liquidated damages. Concludes that adjudication still has various problems to overcome, but it should be able to override these.
