If you're involved in construction in the UK, whether as a property owner, contractor, or part of the wider project team, understanding adjudication is essential.
Join our upcoming webinar on Thursday 9 July at 10am, where we'll break down how construction contract adjudication works and why it remains the most widely used dispute resolution method in the construction industry.
Adjudication is fast, and can significantly impact your project and cash flow. Yet many businesses are caught off guard by just how quickly they must act, often with only days to prepare detailed submissions and evidence.
What we'll cover:
- The fundamentals of adjudication under the Construction Act 1996
- When adjudication applies - even if your contract says otherwise
- The practical stages of an adjudication from notice to decision
- The "pay now, argue later" and "true valuation" principles and how they affect both parties
- Key risks, timelines, and enforcement in the Technology and Construction Court and updates on how the courts have dealt with adjudicator's decisions.
Why you should attend:
- Be prepared for tight deadlines: Learn how to respond effectively within the strict adjudication timetable
- Protect your position: Understand jurisdiction, procedural pitfalls, and how to avoid invalid decisions
- Manage cash flow risks: See how adjudication decisions are enforced, and why payment is often unavoidable in the short term
- Use adjudication strategically: Discover how both parties can leverage the process in disputes
- Avoid costly mistakes: Gain practical insights to ensure you're not caught off guard when a dispute arises
Whether you're new to UK construction contracts or looking to strengthen your knowledge, this session will give you a clear, practical overview of a process that you cannot opt out of.
