MBA : Services : Adjudication

 
 

Adjudication has changed the way in which the entire industry deals with its disputes. The growing number of contested decisions, and the resulting judgments handed down by the courts, means that those involved - both adjudicators and disputants alike - should now have a pretty good understanding of the ground rules.

In reality however, many firms have little or no experience of adjudication and do not have the in-house knowledge to enable them to mount - or defend - an adjudication effectively. This is a dangerous position to be in - particularly if you are on the receiving end of a referral notice and have only a matter of days in which to assemble your defence.

We have now been involved in a great many adjudications and have become highly experienced in the procedures, the tactics, and the law of adjudication. Matthew Bastone is, himself, a practicing adjudicator on the panels of the RICS, the CIArb and the AICA and has been nominated to act on more than 50 occasions to date.

If you are facing up to the prospect of adjudication, whether as Claimant or Respondent, we can help:

  • by providing you with impartial advice as to how to proceed and the likelihood of success;

  • by ensuring that you present your case effectively, with properly prepared documentation and a professionally pleaded case, avoiding the pitfalls which beset the unwary;

  • by providing an in-house half-day training workshop for your staff to familiarise them with the law and procedures of adjudication.
