The Extent In Which Main
Contractors Are Ref: build0003 There
has been
growing dissatisfaction, for some years, with litigation and
arbitration as a
means of settling construction disputes, and increasingly parties have
been
turning to adjudication. This trend was given a major impetus by the
introduction of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act
1996 and
the Scheme for Construction Contracts, which resulted in statutory
adjudication
being introduced in most of the main building standard forms. This
dissertation
therefore surveys the growth of adjudication in detail by discussing
the Act
and its effect on adjudication and construction contracts considering
both
procedural and legal issues.
This
report will consider initial reactions from the industry, and discuss
how it
has become widely recognized as the most effective method of dispute
resolution. However, this rapid increase in demand has also had an
adverse
effect on the process as it clearly highlights the problems over its
effectiveness. The purpose of this report is therefore to review the
doubts
within adjudication from the perspective of the main contractor and
offer
solutions as to the way forward.
