Adjudication definition

What does Adjudication mean? Adjudication is a fast-track dispute resolution process, most commonly used in construction projects, where an independent adjudicator issues a temporarily binding decision on issues such as payment, valuation, extensions of time and defects. It is designed to keep cash flowing—pay now, argue later—while preserving the parties’ rights to litigate or arbitrate later. In England and Wales and Scotland, a statutory right to adjudicate “at any time” arises under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (as amended), with default rules in the relevant Scheme for Construction Contracts.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
