No outside help needed

Article Abstract:

Construction industry disputes need to be settled quickly and effectively, often with the help of an adjudicator. Allowing the architect or engineer to be the adjudicator would ensure many disputes would be dealt with more quickly and with less animosity. Such people would already have a full understanding of the situation involved in the dispute, whereas an outside adjudicator needs to have time to read literature and hear differing views. Ensuring the adjudicator is the contract certifier prevents conflicting decisions and enables impartial analysis.

2000: a liability odyssey

Article Abstract:

Consultants in the construction industry who are users of information technology should be aware of the legal considerations associated with the year 2000 and the possibility of system failure. Consultants who fail to investigate the year 2000 compatibility of their systems and then sue suppliers when they fail could be found to be responsible for their own misfortunes and their claims may be reduced or fail altogether. Consultants should also check other systems their companies rely on and ensure appropriate insurance is available.
