PROJECTS - CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES
PROBLEMS WITH CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
Misunderstanding or disagreement between two parties or more, which always arise as assertions for extra money or time in a project.
Remember that litigation or court action is always not your only option or even your first option.
BREACH OF CONTRACT I NON-PERFORMANCE I DELAYS I DESIGN I VARIATIONS
As a result, situations often arise that are not clearly addressed by the contract. The basic factors that drive the development of construction disputes are uncertainty, contractual problems, and behaviour.
​
It is not uncommon to find amended terms or bespoke contracts that shift the risk and obligations of the parties, often to the party least capable of carrying that risk. Where amended terms or bespoke contracts are used, they may be unclear and ambiguous. As a consequence, differences may arise in the parties' perception of the risk allocation under the contract. Where the parties have agreed to amended or bespoke terms, those conditions take effect in addition to the applicable law of the contract, which is continually evolving and being refined to address new issues.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION I ADJUDICATION
Construction contracts usually provide for disputes to be dealt with by agreed dispute resolution procedures involving mediation, adjudication and arbitration. Often a combination of all three.
Many contracts for large and complex projects now have, in addition to the dispute resolution procedures set out above, tiered dispute resolution procedures with obligations to negotiate in good faith, dispute resolution boards, steering committees and partnering meetings.
Adjudication is a contractual or statutory procedure for swift interim dispute resolution. It is provided by a third party adjudicator selected by the parties in dispute.
Adjudication decisions are binding unless and until they are revised by arbitration or litigation. There is no right of appeal and limited right to resist enforcement. Award of legal costs is at the discretion of the adjudicator unless this is excluded by the terms of the contract. Based on decision and written information received from both parties, the whole process can take up to 30-60 days and the decisions are binding.
