This adjudication textbook uniquely brings together a comprehensive analysis of, and commentary on, the Construction Contracts Act 2013 with a real-world perspective of adjudication, considering the knowledge, process and skills parties and adjudicators require in order to successfully participate in the adjudication process. Drawing on combined experience of 40 years in construction law, the authors provide invaluable guidance for all stakeholders in the adjudication process. The authors analyse and comment on the adjudication provisions of the Construction Contracts Act and describe prudent practice and procedure required to comply with Irish adjudication law, including case studies, case law and sample documentation for those to be involved as the parties, or those who want to act as adjudicators.

Aimed at contractors, sub-contractors, developers, employers, construction, engineering and legal professionals and students, all of whom are either involved, or have an interest, in dispute resolution and adjudication.

Reviews
'The book is written by a highly regarded and experienced construction lawyer and the text is clear, concise and purposeful...Worthy of note is that the author has taken an educational and discursive tone to his writing, such that it is both usable as a reference book and as a trouble-shooting manual for the Chartered Building Engineer, considering the Act and its meddling with normal commercial practice in the construction industry...well worth a read as a meaningful CPD exercise.' - Building Engineer, August 2017
