Construction industry adjudication seminar

Construction disputes should be served by ADR mechanisms that are speedy, cost effective and binding. Such mechanisms should not interfere with the progress of the respective construction works.

The recently introduced adjudication in the construction industry is a form of accelerated and cost-effective ADR mechanism. This mechanism involves a third party intermediary decision which is binding on the parties to the dispute and this is intended to be a condition precedent to arbitration. Small and emerging contractors who are at a disadvantage or even imperiled in other dispute resolution mechanisms will be benefited through this process.

The event will be held on October 28, from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm at ICLP Arbitration Centre, No.61, Carmel Road, Colombo 3. The resource person will be Dr Eddie de Zylva, (OIA) and Engineer and Attorney-at-Law Ananda Ranasinghe. Further details could be obtained from [email protected]
