SI 1998/649 is a procedural instrument under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 that implies default adjudication, payment, and notice terms into construction contracts where parties have not contracted out. Disputes are resolved through private adjudication or litigation; there is no regulator with enforcement powers over the Scheme. The adjudicator is appointed from an adjudicator nominating body (such as RICS or RIBA) under a private contractual process. There is no business-facing enforcement body.
