Notes from our Chairman Richard Booth.

The year 2017 witnessed considerable development in case law on statutory adjudication in Malaysia.

Back in the day, when adjudication enforcement cases were first coming before the courts, and practitioners and Judges were regularly grappling with issues which were new, in the legal sense of being without precedent or guidance, one of the major areas of contention, was what actually constituted the dispute in question. 

I was recently talking over lunch with a solicitor who regularly represents small and medium sized contractors in adjudications. The direction of our conversation turned to the subject of adjudicators nominated by ANBs.

Another great conference! Well organised – especially occurring the day after the decision in Grove was handed down; could not have been much better timed.
