Five Unite for Better Dispute ResolutionDate: Wednesday 6th July 2005
Five leading organisations from the construction industry are supporting a scheme designed to provide improvements in the quality of adjudicators across the construction industry as a whole. The joint initiative is a response to criticism about inconsistency in the quality of adjudicators and adjudication training. This has resulted in a collaboration of the leading bodies in the construction industry, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and Association of Independent Construction Adjudicators (AICA).
The training will reinforce the credibility of adjudication as a way of resolving contract disputes. Experienced adjudicators will be able to update their case law practice and procedures, discuss topical issues around adjudication, and gain the necessary qualifications to obtain entry to adjudication panels (as and when vacancies arise).
The first courses will take place later this year. Application to the course is open to all practising adjudicators.
Dr Peter Fenn from the University of Manchester said: ‘Concerns about the quality of adjudicators and adjudication training are real and major institutions are to be commended for collaborating and addressing the concerns. Adjudicators need the best possible training available; this initiative will improve training. ’
