Article summary

Construction analysis: In proceedings to enforce an adjudication decision, the Technology and Construction Court held that a defence that there was no contract between the defendants and claimant had no real prospect of success. However, the alternative defence to enforcement, being that the dispute had not been notified in the timeframe required by the NEC3 contract, succeeded.
