Adjudication is the dominant means by which construction disputes are resolved and has been a lifeline for parties to resolve disputes quickly to maintain cash flow.
While adjudication is designed to be quick and accessible, it nevertheless remains a technical process with potential pitfalls which can lead to unenforceable Awards.
