I should like to dedicate this book to my wife Marj and my son Nolan, and my parents before them, for their love and without whom nothing would have been written.

A Note to the Reader

Kenneth T. Salmon is one of the world’s preeminent authorities in the areas of construction law and adjudication. Admitted as a solicitor in both England and Wales, and the Republic of Ireland, he is an accredited mediator and Senior Counsel in Construction Law for Weightmans LLP. With nearly forty years of industry experience ranging from the refurbishment of oil rigs and construction of schools to the development of power stations and supply of railways, he is an expert on numerous dispute categories and a respected voice in the professional legal community. Having authored more than forty publications on the subject of construction adjudication to date, he is a seasoned dispute resolution practitioner and a well-informed client advocate.

This book is unique among legal manuscripts in that it contains over ten years of Mr. Salmon’s writings on the subject of construction adjudication—giving it both a depth and breadth of coverage few publications can match. From the discussion of Macob Civil Engineering Ltd in Chapter 1 to PC Harrington Contractors Ltd in Chapter 41, the reader is treated to a thorough analysis of the significant cases which have been decided since the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 entered into force. Although comprehensive in its treatment of the subject matter, it is written in a way that is both understandable and approachable. Scholars and practitioners will find this book equally useful, and I am confident it will be a valuable contribution to those involved in the practice of construction adjudication within the United Kingdom.

This publication contains 41 chapters. Most chapters include a series of links to the full text of every decision, where available. Each chapter begins with an introductory abstract designed to provide the reader with a brief explanation of the main themes and content of the cases and commentaries that follow. Cases and commentaries are preceded by keywords that allow the reader to quickly identify the key points. The cases have been selected from what the author considers to be the most important decisions in certain areas of construction adjudication. Editorial changes have been kept to a minimum and have been confined to changes that were required to ensure consistency in style. This work would not have been possible without the support of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and particular thanks must go to Yvonne Hanley and Julio César Betancourt for their guidance and support.

Foreword

The key to how Adjudicators, the Parties and their representatives can safely fulfill their roles is to be found in the many cases of enforcement of Adjudicator’s Decisions. Over the last ten years, in the Journal of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Ken has provided clear, concise and very readable reports of a considerable number of the leading cases and, much to my personal pleasure and gratitude, he has now collated, indexed and reproduced them in this exciting new legal case book.

Over the decades, I have known Ken, I have always regarded him as a lawyer who knows and understands the law. He has much experience as a successful practitioner in contentious business which enables him to appreciate practical values and this is borne out in his many publications, not least of all in this one. I welcome and wholeheartedly recommend this book to all those involved in any capacity with adjudication.

Congratulations and thank you Ken.

Preface

In 1999—less than a year after the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 had come into force—I was interested to learn of two decisions of the Scottish courts about the (then) new process of Construction Adjudication. I was encountering adjudication in my practice but few seemed to know much about it. In truth, we were all feeling our way. It must be worth a short article, I thought, little realising that adjudication would become, if not the most commonly used formal dispute resolution procedure, then at least the one most commonly talked about.

The following year, that first article discussing seven cases was published in the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators’ journal. It quickly prompted a follow up, though I suppose I must have realised by then what it would lead to as it was called Cases – Part 2. And so began a labour of love. Truly the frustrated writer in me enjoyed finding, reading, and digesting the decisions (not then published online) and sharing my findings with anyone who might be interested. I was enthusiastic and at least educating myself. The result was 41 parts covering hundreds of cases between 1999 and 2011.

Thanks mainly to the interest and encouragement of Derek Roebuck, the former editor of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators’ journal, the articles gained a little polish. They also grew in length, partly the product of the growth of the adjudication industry and the volume of reported cases; partly because I now had access to and began to digest the judgments themselves; and partly because the legal arguments deployed by those trying to avoid compliance became ever more sophisticated. In this last respect at least we may now have seen the tipping point—we know the adjudicator’s decision is to be enforced right or wrong provided s/he had threshold jurisdiction, answered the question asked, and acted fairly and within the period permitted.

For some time I was asked when will we see the book? If what was intended was an analysis of construction adjudication by Reference to case law, the Honourable Mr Justice Coulson QC did a much better job than I ever could with his excellent book Construction Adjudication (Oxford University Press, 2007). I was encouraged; however, to think that even a compilation of the articles from the Journal would be worthwhile as it would gather all of the cases into one volume. This is the result and it is all that this book attempts. I hope it is useful.

A new challenge is on the horizon. With the inelegantly named Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, we will witness the adjudication of verbal construction contracts and see how the new rules as to payment are applied, all of which are bound to require another decade of case law. It may therefore be expected that someone—if not I—will continue writing about enforcement for some time to come.

In this work, the Act means the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The Scheme means the Scheme for Construction Contracts (England & Wales) Regulations 1998. Comments are my own with which you may or may not agree.

It is customary to acknowledge and record one’s thanks to those people who are to some degree responsible for this book, and I am glad to have the chance to do so. First and foremost my thanks go to Derek Roebuck for his mentoring, editorial skills, encouragement and support and without whom Cases would not have started or survived. Then a huge debt of gratitude is owed to Jason Crook whose creative and editorial skills shaped this book. I must also thank my colleagues Natalie Scott, Jody Kite, Ciaran McNamara and Husna Patel all of whom in their turn helped in the preparation of the original series and summaries and Harriet Houghton who helped format the original manuscript. I must also thank those readers and construction professionals who have been kind enough to say they found Cases helpful or interesting, and who also encouraged me to write the book. Thanks also go to the partners in Weightmans LLP for their support and for allowing me the time and space to carry out the research and the writing.

Finally, I express my appreciation to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators for bringing this book into being.
