Construction Law Episode 24: Statutory Adjudication (Part 1)

In this episode, we introduce the fundamentals of statutory adjudication in construction law, as outlined in Construction Law by Julian Bailey. We explore the origins and purpose of adjudication as a dispute resolution mechanism specifically designed to address issues that arise during ongoing construction projects. The episode covers the statutory framework, the rights of parties to initiate adjudication, and the nature of adjudicators' decisions as temporary but binding resolutions. We'll discuss the benefits of adjudication for quick, cost-effective decision-making, setting the stage for a deeper look in Part 2.
