ADJUDICATION

Adjudication is now the most commonly used Dispute Resolution Process in New Zealand for resolving Building and Construction Disputes.

In order to meet the stated objective of providing speedy resolution of disputes arising under a construction contract, the Construction Contracts Act 2002 provided for a new and different dispute resolution process: ‘Adjudication’.

Adjudication is a unique and relatively straightforward fast track statutory dispute resolution process for resolving building and construction disputes arising under construction contracts with the primary purpose of improving cashflow.

For more information on what Adjudication is and how the process works please see the relevant sections in the menu on the left.
