Ten Years on: Review of Adjudication in the United Kingdom

Abstract

The Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 introduced statutory based adjudication into the United Kingdom. Since then there has been a volume of case law regarding enforcement of adjudication decisions and clarifications of procedural issues. This paper looks at the fundamentals of adjudication under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act, trends in adjudication case law, and certain procedural clarifications from recent case law.
