Abstract
This briefing expounds on the time-barring mechanism of the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract, which has been used incorrectly to time-bar contractors from referring to adjudication claims for payment of the precise amount of money due to the contractor. This briefing demonstrates that such claims may be referred to adjudication within 2 to 4 weeks of the notification of the dispute given at any time, provided that the notice of the compensation event arising from the project manager’s negligent assessment of the amount due is given before the defects date.
