Will Late Payment Claim mean stopping work or going to adjudication?

The work starts with triage. We check which sum is due after the notices and whether the final date for payment has really passed. We check what the subcontract says about interest, suspension and any upstream condition. We also rate how strong each part of the debt is. Then we build the position: the sum due, with interest from the day after each final date, and any recovery costs. The demand goes in your name with a date for payment. If payment still does not come, we prepare the notice of intention to suspend for you to serve, and cost the suspension. Or we prepare the money side of an adjudication and work alongside whoever runs it. If it is unclear whether a remedy is open to you, that goes to your solicitor first. The fee is fixed and agreed in writing after we have reviewed the payment record. Where the work runs in stages, each stage has its own fixed fee, agreed before it starts.
