Adjudication is a speedy and effective means to resolve contractual or commercial disputes (especially on construction or building related disputes) by means of a neutral, independent and impartial adjudicator.

The adjudicator is a legal practitioner or construction professional with knowledge and experience in adjudication and the subject matter of the disputes. In comparison to open litigation and arbitration, adjudication as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method is generally speedy, more flexible and cost-effective.
