A sample of the work
Representative construction disputes we have acted in, described without identifying our clients. Values are approximate and given for scale.
Acted for a main contractor in an AIAC-administered arbitration arising from a delayed mixed-development project, involving overlapping extension-of-time, prolongation and defects claims under the PAM form.
Recovered outstanding progress payments for a mechanical-and-electrical subcontractor within a single adjudication cycle, and enforced the decision under s.28 CIPAA.
Prepared and argued an extension-of-time and loss-and-expense claim on a hospital project turning on concurrent employer and neutral delay events.
Resisted a stay of enforcement of an adjudication decision pending arbitration, securing payment of the adjudicated sum to the unpaid party.
Acted on a FIDIC-form arbitration for an infrastructure package, on questions of variation valuation and the engineer’s determinations.
Advised an employer on a contested final account and defects cross-claim, reconstructing the measured account from the contemporaneous records.
Co-ordinated a developer’s defence to eleven concurrent adjudication claims from subcontractors on a single township project.
Set aside an adjudication decision on natural-justice grounds where the adjudicator had decided on a basis neither party had advanced.
Matters are described in general terms and without client identification in accordance with our duties of confidentiality and the Bar’s Publicity Rules. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome; every dispute turns on its own facts, contract and evidence.
A payment claim just landed? The clock has already started.
