The default timetable from submission of the first pleadings document (The Referral Notice) until the Adjudicator’s Decision is 28 days. Within this period there is often multiple rounds of submissions from each party. It is a fast-paced procedure with its own rules.

The intention when adjudication was introduced was for it to act as a temporarily binding solution, and that the parties would seek a further and final resolution at a later point. However, in most cases the Adjudication Decision ends up being the final say, as neither party takes the matter further. Whether it ends up being temporarily or finally binding, getting the right decision is critical. Choosing the right representation can be key to this.

It is important that you instruct someone that knows adjudication and has the skill to present your case in its strongest form.

We have been involved in hundreds of adjudications. We understand where the pressure points are and how to deal with them.

Through experience and aptitude, we also know which issues go to the heart of the case and how to present your position and evidence to give you the best chance of success.

Our experience allows us to quickly understand your matter. Our people have represented parties in all manner and sizes of adjudications, and we pride ourselves on the quality of our work and robustly representing our clients.

Robert Burns is also available to act as Adjudicator via appointment by the Parties.
