Programme Highlights:-

Adjudication will become the mostly adopted dispute resolution in construction in the foreseeable future, whether it be by law or contractual prescriptions.  What is adjudication and why it could be better in comparison with arbitration and mediation?  How to start adjudication and get the best results out of it?  Contracting parties need to know.  Consultants running these construction contracts and those who wish to become an adjudicator need to know. 

The seminar will provide how adjudication comes about from UK to HK after widely adopted in the Pacific region.  It gives a general layout on its prospective adoptions in HK by law and contract, and how it may affect the construction practices.  Finally, it outlays the pre-requisites and road path to become an adjudicator based on his professional role and duties to act.
