Wrecking ball

Article Abstract:

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's demolition of township areas that has left thousands homeless are being criticized as part of an authoritarian rule. But, whatever the reasons for the other countries' shifting attitudes to the dispossessed, the UK government does not really know what its position is and despite advocating judicial enquiries and public consultations, the government is uncertain about what the right course of action is in case of demolition.

The adjudication process has become somewhat mired

Article Abstract:

The enforcement of adjudications in dispute resolution landscape is disputed by parties, rather than use it to settle a dispute to enable the project to proceed. Architects' involvement has changed to an extent that negotiation of adjudication provisions is possible to make them favorable to the architect, financially and in the assessment of the architect's performance.
