520			_aIt is nearly four years since the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 Part II came into force and with it the automatic right to a 28 day adjudication to settle disputes over payment. This article reports that, despite some rigorous challenges in the courts, the legislation has remained largely in tact and is achieving its key objective of freeing-up cash flow with the construction industry. It concludes that despite the dire predictions made when it was enacted, the Construction Act may well prove to have been the single most beneficial change in UK construction law ever.
