Adjudicator Nomination Process
"I want to review a dispute or review a Project Manager's decision." Contact us and we will appoint a Nominator to investigate the issue.
The Nominator looks at the issues and information with the parties and takes an independent decision on who to nominate to decide the dispute.NEC Adjudicator Nominating Body
NEC-Adjudicators.org is an adjudicator nominating body specifically dealing with adjudicator nominations in NEC contracts.
If you wish to use our services, please get in touch with us here.
Learn more about how our FREE service works
The 'NEC3 Engineering & Construction Contracts' contains Dispute Resolution arrangements for both UK Construction contracts and elsewhere in the world. The role of nec-adjudicators.org is that of an Adjudicator Nominating Body. It is a nominating body, not being a party to the dispute, which holds itself publicly as a body, which will select an adjudicator when requested to do so by a Referring party. Importantly this ANB is wholly unconnected with the developer/ author of NEC Standard Form documents. Independence is an important feature of the work of the adjudicator.
NEC-adjudicators.org is an initiative of Tony Bingham (right), Barrister at Law, Adjudicator, Arbitrator, Mediator. For more information, his weekly column and a profile of Tony Bingham, please visit his website here.

Dispute Watch: What 28 days of adjudication will mean for you
Let's call it "Dispute Watch". It's 12 years now since mandatory 28-day Adjudication was invented. What that 28-day period really means is that if you are the Responding/ Defending Party in an adjudication began this morning you have to drop everything and get on to the adjudication; yes now... before noon.

How to help an adjudicator adjudicate
It's just about 12-years since "Adjudication" under building & civil engineering contracts was invented.
