Theme for a scheme
Article Abstract:
The most recent draft of the UK's Scheme for Construction Contracts is probably the best that can be achieved within the boundaries of section 108 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The draft scheme has now been subjected to final consultation, and it seems safe to assume that the act will come into force at some point in 1998. The construction industry must now focus on the scheme and make it an integral part of its contracts. This will ensure that the entire industry works to a single set of rules for adjudication.

A victim of its own success?
Article Abstract:
UK construction firms may be using the legal process of adjudication to purposely create disputes with other firms working on a project where relationships have turned bitter. A legal time restraint of 12 weeks should prevent abuse of the adjudication system, although contractors have the right to define and time complaints which overcome the statutory time lapse. Adjudicators must take note of all information put to them by contractors even if the information has not been seen by the other party in the dispute.
