As Contractor under an Option A we would like to know if there is a contract provision or statutory provision that sets a timeline for an account to be disputed. The project was handed over in April 2016 (although no Completion certificate was issued). Directly after handover there was an adjudication due to the Employer not submitting a payment notice against the last application. An award was made in full to the Contractor. The Employers representatives wrote and stated they would seek to recover sums due to the works not being in accordance with the Contract (which is denied). However nothing further has been received since June 2016. Could the Employer still dispute the account?
