Adjudication 

Overview

At Civitas Chambers, our adjudication barristers and qualified adjudicators advise and represent clients in all aspects of statutory and contractual adjudication, particularly within the construction, engineering, and infrastructure sectors.

Adjudication offers a rapid, cost-effective means of resolving disputes while keeping projects on track. Our barristers act for employers, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and public authorities, and several members accept appointment as adjudicators under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.

The Adjudication Process

Adjudication is designed to produce a binding decision within a short timeframe. Our barristers guide clients through each stage — from the initial Notice to enforcement proceedings — ensuring compliance with procedural rules and strategic handling of evidence and submissions.
