How many times has PPC2000 been tested in adjudication, arbitration or litigation?
It is a measure of PPC2000’s success that it is not yet the subject of any reported court case and that User Group members report the successful resolution of several differences and disputes through the Core Group. To quote Sir Michael Latham:- “Some academic lawyers will say of PPC2000, as they also said of the NEC, that it should not be used because it has not been tested in the courts. The absence of courts is a plus, in my view. If you want a document that is regularly tested in the courts, you can use JCT 80” (Building, 10 May 2002).
