Chairman's Corner

Very recently Sir Michael Latham presented his first report to the Department of Trade and Industry. In a fairly lengthy letter he recapped on the purposes of the Act and the re-promoted his original proposal for Trust Funds, which he first proposed in Trust and Money in 1993. This is probably a dead recommendation because they are impractical.

Dear Members, a shorter than usual Newsletter this Summer but again some interesting news and an update on case from Nick Gould. Regional activities are good and there is no shortage of interest in exploring and debating, differing issues in Adjudication.
Guy Cottam

Chairman's Corner

As you are all aware I am sure, Sir Michael Latham has been appointed to undertake a review of the workings of the Construction Act. The Society has submitted a paper to Sir Michael and this can be seen on the website.

Editorial

It is with great sorrow that we have to inform members that Carol Chapman, wife of Peter Chapman, our founder, died suddenly on 8th February. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Peter and his family.
Guy Cottam

Chairman's Corner

Unfortunately, the Society can no longer continue on the basis of free membership and provide the diverse range of activities that our members both want and expect. It is currently costing around £15,000 a year to run the society, excluding the annual conference.

Jurisdictional challenge –there must be a better way

Almost all of the cases concerning adjudication that you read about in these pages concern challenges to the adjudicator’s jurisdiction, which are raised as a defence to an application to the Court to enforce the adjudicator’s decision.

Members Corner

The Editor Posed the following questions to members b:
“What do you think was the most significant development in Adjudication during 2003?” [please not England winning the World Cup, anonymous Scotsman ]

Chairman's Corner

I am honoured to be taking over the Chairmanship of the Society and somewhat daunted by the act I have to follow. Peter Chapman created and largely funded the Society in its formative years and we now have over 950 members. We all wish Peter well in his Presidency of the Dispute Board Foundation.
