"Adjudication and latest case law"

17 October 2008

Victoria Russell in a paper given to the Sweet & Maxwell Construction Law 2008 Conference, discusses the progress of the Government's proposed reforms to the adjudication legislation and considers a number of recent adjudication enforcement cases from the courts, including the decisions in Cantillon v Urvasco, Ledwood v Whessoe Oil, Makers v The London Borough of Camden and CSE Braehead Leisure v Laing O'Rourke. Victoria also looks in detail at the question of whether it is possible to withhold liquidated damages from an adjudicator's decision. Finally Victoria reviews the latest cases from the TCC, focussing on cases relating to the Pre-Action Protocol.
