Our standard contractual frameworks provide for a dispute resolution process which adopts the Construction Industry Council Model Adjudication Procedures and as per the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, either party may refer a dispute to adjudication. Either party has the right to initiate legal proceedings in the UK Courts. Outside of adjudication, there is a dispute escalation procedure, namely (i) the authorised representatives of each party are to attempt to settle a dispute first (ii) failure to settle is referred to regional managing directors to attempt to resolve (iii) if still not resolved the dispute is to be referred in good faith to mediation.
