The Adjudication Society, in conjunction with the CIArb, published revised Guidelines on the “Jurisdiction of the UK Construction Adjudicator” at the start of 2016.
Now in their third edition, the Guidelines were first published in 2011 with the aim of providing a sensible and practical approach to some of the everyday issues encountered in adjudication in relation to jurisdiction.
The 2012 edition had incorporated the amendments made to the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 by the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009. However, the time was felt right for a review given the Act (as amended) has now been in force for a number of years.
A consultation was undertaken in the autumn of 2015 with feedback and comments reviewed and debated by a drafting committee as well as CIArb and the Adjudication Society.
The minor revisions in the 2016 edition are as follows:
