How Our Matching Works
Our primary role is to nominate an adjudicator who is suitable and free from any conflict of interest. In undertaking the task, we will consider the following six factors.
Nature of Dispute
This will often determine if a lawyer, surveyor, architect, or other professionals are approached.
Geography
The geographic location of the works and parties involved in the dispute is another important factor.
Conflict of Interest
Adjudicators with a known conflict of interest of potential conflict of interest will not be nominated.
Series of Adjudications
If the nomination is a series of adjudications under the same contract, we will nominate the most appropriate adjudicator in light of cost and time considerations.
Representations
We reserve discretion in nominating Adjudicators. We will not be fettered or bound by representations made against the identity of the Adjudicator.
Availability
An Adjudicator's accepting of nomination may be subject to their work or holiday commitments.
