Adjudication - An Update

15 April 2010, 5.00pm-7.00pm
Room 701, NTUC Business Centre

Join us for this seminar at which 2 leading construction practitioners will provide a timely update on developments in adjudication:
“What You Really Need to Know About Adjudication”

If there was no payment response, is an adjudicator bound to accept the sum put up by a claimant as the amount due to the claimant? Can the adjudicator use his own technical expertise to determine the amount which should be payable to the claimant? What remedies are available to a party who is dissatisfied with an adjudication determination? Should he ask for a review and abide by the outcome? Or should he take it up further to the High Court?

LATEST POST-EVENT UPDATE

Post-event Update on "Dispute Boards - An Overview and Selected Experiences (9 Feb 2010)

Dispute Boards are not well known in Singapore, so this talk by Chris Redfearn and Chow Kok Fong was very timely. Both speakers have first-hand experience of this method of alternative dispute resolution and their knowledge was very evident. Chris Redfearn took delegates through the bewildering terminology (Is there any difference between a Dispute Board and a Dispute Resolution Board -well, apparently not) and explained how Dispute Board members are appointed and paid. He then explained the procedure that is usually followed, with particular emphasis on the importance of site visits to monitor progress and to address potential issues as early as possible.
