Matthew Dillon has been involved in Construction Adjudication since the year 2000 when he commenced employment as an in-house solicitor for Jarvis plc.
Adjudication enables clients to secure an enforceable judgment within a matter of weeks and there are only limited circumstances in which the courts will decline a summary judgment.
Although the successful party within an Adjudication usually recovers the costs of the Adjudicator, he will not, unless the other side consents, be entitled to recover the costs of representation.

Aside from litigation, MJD has experience at all forms of ADR, including adjudication, mediation, expert determination and arbitration.
We have acted for employers, contractors and subcontractors on a range of issues through these means.
MJD Solicitors are very experienced at getting results for its clients through adjudication.
Mediation is actively encouraged by the Courts and an unreasonable refusal to mediate can result in an adverse costs order being made against a party.
If the right people are in a room and there is a genuine desire to settle a difference, then it is not uncommon for insurmountable obstacles to be overcome and settlement to be achieved.
