Nominate an Adjudicator

When to use it: Adjudication can be deployed on building and construction projects at any time. It is best utilised therefore once a dispute has crystallised and a prompt resolution of the matter is needed. Adjudicator decisions are binding on the parties until resolved by agreement, arbitration or litigation. We act as Adjudicator only in commercial disputes and do not usually accept references between a contractor and a domestic customer.

Our service does not require you to pay a nomination fee.  Mensura will nominate the Adjudicator so as to avoid any allegation of bias, perceived or actual. We require the Party seeking to adjudicate to meet our costs in full. Any recovery of costs from the other Party will be dealt with in the Decision. We conduct references in accordance with the Scheme for Construction Contracts in the absence of any contractual agreement to the contrary.

We refer you specifically to clause 4.3 of our Terms of Sale.

In the event that your dispute exceeds £500,000 then please contact us for a quotation for this service.
