Abstract
This paper presents data collected from adjudicators and Adjudicator Nominating Bodies (ANBs) since the introduction of the statutory right to adjudication in the Housing Grant, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. ·This data shows the increasing trend towards adjudication in the UK and the costs associated with the adjudication process. The paper discusses the sums of money in dispute and compares these with the adjudication costs. The evidence shows that, on average, the adjudication cost amounts to approximately 3% of the sums in dispute.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
