Midlands Region Surgery 27th April and forthcoming event Tony Bingham " Blue Standard " adjudication
Midlands region held a surgery attended by about 20 people. Guy Cottam led the surgery, which involved case studies based around a theoretical dispute. The surgery worked in groups of 4-5 who had to address issues raised at different stages of a hypothetical adjudication. The first issues were objections to jurisdiction - in relation to appointment - and the crystallisation of the dispute. The Contract based on the ICE 6th Edition contained a clause requiring the matter of dissatisfaction procedure to be followed before a "dispute " as defined in the contract arose.
