The changes are contained in Part 8 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 and apply to all relevant contracts entered into from 1 October http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/3025572?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/3025572?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:16:03 +0000 Significant uncertainty regarding parties' rights to have an adjudicator's decision reviewed has been resolved, following a recent Western Australia Court of Appeal decision.

It is an unusual piece of legislation as it implies terms into (nearly) all written contracts for construction work unless those contracts contain Act-compliant provisions http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2174684?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2174684?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= Tue, 05 Jul 2011 11:16:53 +0000 http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2174699?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2174699?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= Tue, 05 Jul 2011 11:16:53 +0000 ODL was created as a special purpose vehicle by the two directors, Peter Frohlich and Godfrey Spanner, for the sole purpose of acquiring and developing a piece of land http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2105700?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2105700?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:18:53 +0000 The first, long awaited steps to putting in place the groceries code adjudicator, formerly known as the supermarket ombudsman, were taken on May 24 with the publication of the draft Groceries Code Adjudicator bill. While the move has been welcomed by many parts of the food supply chain, it still appears unlikely that an appointment will be made before 2013. http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2044432?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/2044432?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= Sun, 12 Jun 2011 17:34:16 +0000 When the construction sections of the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 were introduced in 1998, subcontractors gained the right to refer disputes to adjudication with very little risk to themselves. They had the risk that they would lose but they would not have to pay the costs of the other party http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/1957468?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/1957468?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422&publish_id= Wed, 25 May 2011 15:00:31 +0000 It takes astute playing of the payment game to conserve cashflow, reduce financial exposure and manage payment risks in construction contracts. Where payment issues arise, employers, contractors and sub-contractors each have their own positions to stand over http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/1893337?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422 http://ca.linexsystems.com/contents/transit/1893337?user_id=78611&log=e985bacc66c65470e9e79de9f725a422 Wed, 11 May 2011 00:31:41 +0000
