Adjudicating Construction and Engineering Disputes
Two of the UK’s leading adjudicators, Matt Molloy and Jonathan Cope are sharing their vast knowledge and experience with the release of their inaugural book, “Adjudicating Construction and Engineering Disputes.” The book provides a comprehensive guide to the process of construction industry adjudication from the perspective of the adjudicator. It covers the whole process of adjudication, from the initial enquiry through case management, the conduct of the proceedings, the production of the Decision and post-Decision matters. The purpose is to provide a resource for aspiring and practising adjudicators, both in the UK and internationally.
