When you run a business, you will try to avoid getting into commercial disputes<\/a> with other businesses. Despite this, a dispute may still occur, such as if parties cannot agree to obligations within a business contract. In this case, it is always in both parties\u2019 interests to resolve the dispute amicably. However, if this is not possible, there are various options available, such as going to court or proceeding with alternative dispute resolution<\/a>.

Adjudication is how you, as a business, can resolve disputes with another company. It is a method businesses that work in the construction industry often use. This is because, under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996<\/em>, it is the legal right of a business owner in this industry to seek adjudication. This Act also details a specific timetable for adjudication in the construction industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjudication is not as formal as other dispute resolution methods, such as arbitration<\/a>. This is because the parties to the commercial dispute using adjudication can agree to the rules. These rules typically govern the manner in which the parties provide evidence, specifying the type of evidence each party wants the other to disclose.
