Further detail
Read this alongside paragraph 7 of Part I of the Scheme for Construction Contracts (England and Wales) Regulations 1998.
The referral presents the referring party's case, remedy and evidence in an adjudication. It should be consistent with the dispute identified in the notice of adjudication. A respondent needs to understand the actual directions and timetable rather than assume a standard response period from general guidance.
Organise documents against the issues and obtain prompt procedural advice. Claim assessment and response can support the underlying response within an agreed scope; formal representation requires confirmation.
