Julian Critchlow highlights the key recent trends in adjudication in a paper given at the Construction Law Masterclass. The paper deals with the question of the crystallisation of a dispute (and other jurisdictional matters) and discusses attempts made by losing parties to raise a set-off against an adjudicator’s decision. It also comments on attempts made to suggest that actions of adjudicators have been outside the principles of natural justice.
Victoria Russell provided a case law update paper and talk to the members of the South East branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators discussing the most recent decisions relating to adjudication enforcement and arbitration.
