This Practice Note looks at the most common method of enforcement of an adjudication decision—bringing a Part 7 claim and a summary judgment application in the TCC, as provided for in section 9 of the TCC Guide. It also considers the ability to enforce a decision by seeking a mandatory injunction and the effect of a foreign jurisdiction clause on adjudication enforcement proceedings.

Although a Part 7 claim is the normal, and preferable, method of enforcement of an adjudication decision, there are some rarely used alternative methods for enforcement. Parties can apply to the TCC for declaratory relief under CPR Part 8 if there is unlikely to be a substantial dispute of fact and no monetary judgment is sought—see Practice Note: Adjudication and Part 8 proceedings. For guidance on seeking compliance with the decision by issuing a statutory demand or insolvency proceedings, see Practice Note: Adjudication enforcement—use of insolvency proceedings.
