Isn’t it annoying when you see a shop put up its Christmas display in June. At first, there a brief feeling of excitement whilst everyone remembers how much fun Christmas is (or should that be was when you were a kid).

First up in this edition we have a couple of practical articles on substantive points of construction law for adjudicators.
The theme of this newsletter could be Adjudicators behave!
It is easy to view adjudication as a quick and easy way to get money.
The highlight of this issue is a study into the recent history of adjudication, how the process used has varied over time and how it has been impacted by the strength of the construction industry.
As is often the case, this Newsletter has two distinct sections – the first providing guidance for those who act for the parties in adjudications and the second providing guidance for those occupying the decision making hot seat itself.
Change is in the air. Not only do we have a new Lib-Con government in Downing Street, but the proposed statutory amendments to the Housing Grants Act and Scheme provisions rumble on. Will the new government affect this?
Hello and welcome to the first newsletter of 2010. What does the new year have in store for us? Well, just as the last Newsletter was going to print the new Construction Act was finally passed and it may be brought into force by the end of the year. Or maybe not.

This quarter’s newsletter starts with a Chairman’s Corner from Nicholas Gould containing some important news regarding the direction of the Society and the appointment of an Honorary President. I won’t ruin the excitement for you so please go and read it for yourselves now.

The theme of this month’s newsletter is adjudication rules.  We have articles on the TeCSA and CEDR rules and, probably most importantly, the Scheme courtesy of Jeremy Glover, Shona Frame and Mark Entwhistle respectively.

If there one thing worse than having an adjudicator’s decision go against you, it’s that moment a few days later when you actually have to write out the cheque to the other side.

Many thanks to Glenn for the introduction and again may I echo his thanks to Lucy for the hard work she has put in during her time as Editor.
