Disputes

Reasons

Only the reasons in the payment schedule can be addressed in an application.

Goods not delivered or installed
Backcharges
Variation not approved
Defects
Design issues
Not to approved drawing
Verbal instructions not supported by paperwork
Damage and defects
Delay costs
Liquidated damages
Contract dispute
Over claimed amount on value
Breach of contract

All these issues are common reasons for not paying a progress claim. The adjudication process allows the claimant to challenge the validity of the reasons with regard to the contract, without having to threaten legal action or worse still commence proceedings. You will be surprised at the ability of the process to get down to the realities of the dispute and reach a fair determination quickly.
