The Summer 2021 Construction Case Update from Gateley Vinden<\/a> offers valuable insights on the key issues in adjudication, mediation and dispute resolution affecting the industry<\/h2>\n

Chief executive Peter Vinden examines the long history of parties in dispute<\/a> refusing to mediate – and the severe consequences that often follow from courts taking a dim view of unreasonable behaviour.<\/p>\n

Looking at a recent case to highlight the issues, he cautions that refusing an offer to mediate needs a very good reason indeed – and a belief that you have a strong case is simply not enough on its own.<\/p>\n

In addition, Peter explores the issue of pursuing claims in adjudication<\/a> to resolve disputes when one party is in insolvency, looking back on a paper he authored on the subject back in 2010 and the changes in the legal landscape over the past 11 years.<\/p>\n

This includes a key case in Bresco Electrical Services Ltd v Michael J Lonsdale (Electrical) Ltd, which Peter traces from the original dispute all the way to a 2020 Supreme Court ruling and a look at the current position in adjudication law.<\/p>\n

Concerns over cost<\/h3>\n

Finally, Peter discusses the costs involved<\/a> in referring construction disputes to adjudication as the process has evolved over the 23 years since its introduction under the Housing Grants, Construction & Regeneration Act 1998.<\/p>\n

With multiple submissions, jurisdiction challenges and hearings now common, many potential claimants are being deterred from pursuing resolution through adjudication because of concerns over the cost.<\/p>\n

However, Peter argues, adjudication still remains the most effective form of alternative dispute resolution and, with a number of construction companies expected to encounter financial difficulties in the next 12 months, action is needed to address this issue.<\/p>\n

As a result, Gateley Vinden<\/a> has made the decision to offer adjudication representation on a “no win, no fee” basis and will, in appropriate circumstances, share financial risk of the process.<\/p>\n

Peter outlines how it works and the options available, which are designed to offer a flexible approach to fees and risk participation to help ensure smaller contractors and specialist subcontractors are not restricted from exercising their rights to resolve disputes through the adjudication process.<\/p>\n
