Tony Clough

Given the recent introduction of low cost procedures to encourage smaller disputes to be referred to adjudication, is it time for a rethink on the costs issue? In this talk, Tony Clough considered the pros and cons of the Enviroflow decision and asks whether we should allow adjudicators to award parties their costs.
