How is an adjudicator chosen?

Getting an adjudicator

An adjudicator or possible adjudicators can be named in the contract or agreed by the parties once the dispute has arisen. Alternatively they can be selected by a nominating body.

What is the process for adjudication?

Adjudication is the process by which a court judge resolves issues between two parties. Adjudication hearings are similar to the arbitration hearing process. Generally, adjudication hearings involve money or nonviolent infractions that result in a distribution of rights and obligations for all parties involved.
