What is adjudication?
Adjudication is a fast, independent decision on a disputed construction payment under security of payment laws.
An adjudicator looks at the claim and schedule and decides what's payable, usually within weeks. It's quicker and cheaper than going to court.
Example
A subcontractor applies for adjudication after a builder's payment schedule offers far less than claimed.
In Australia
Applications go through authorised nominating authorities in each state.
