"Recent developments in adjudication"

23 April 2009

Barry Hembling, in a paper given at the 15th Fenwick Elliott Construction Law Update Seminar held at Simpsons in the Strand, London, reviews the key adjudication issues that have arisen over the past 12 months. He looks at whether jurisdictional challenges are becoming more difficult, discusses whether it is possible to sever different strands of an adjudicator’s decision, reviews challenges to decisions on the grounds of the adjudicator’s failure to consider evidence and concludes by asking whether the grounds available to unsuccessful parties to challenge an adjudicator’s decision are narrowing.
