King's College London publishes third annual report on UK construction adjudication trends

The Centre of Construction Law and Dispute Resolution at King's College London, in collaboration with The Adjudication Society, has released its third annual report on construction adjudication in the United Kingdom. The 2024 report reveals a record number of 2,264 adjudication referrals, indicating the growing popularity of this dispute resolution method. The report also highlights progress in diversity initiatives, with 7 out of 10 participating Adjudicator Nominating Bodies (ANBs) now signatories to the Equal Representation in Adjudication Pledge. However, women still comprise only 8.9% of adjudicators on ANB panels that maintain diversity records, with TECBAR leading at 20% female representation. The comprehensive study provides valuable insights into various aspects of adjudication, including referral trends, nomination fees, competency requirements, claim values, dispute causes, procedural durations, complaints, enforcement issues and the impact of insolvency on adjudication proceedings.
