Abstract
The purpose of the article is to highlight for adjudicators key issues arising under the JCT 81 standard form of building contract which need to be understood in order to reach adjudicator’s decisions. It discusses the responsibility for design and the certifying and valuing functions of the contract administrator and quantity surveyor under JCT 80 and compares them with the way they are dealt with in JCT 81. The employer’s requirements, the contractor’s proposals and the contract sum analysis together with the role of the employer’s agent in JCT 81 are explained. The article concludes with advice to adjudicators and comments on the apparent reduction of disputes under JCT 81.
