ICTAD Pool of Adjudicators

Adjudication is a unique dispute resolution process for resolving construction disputes arising under construction contracts or otherwise with the primary purpose of relatively straightforward fast track resolution. In essence, adjudication is a process where a neutral third party gives a decision, which is binding on the parties in dispute unless or until revised in arbitration or litigation. The binding effect of an adjudicator’s determination is made clear in SBD documents.
