Question

Advantages of collective bargaining over compulsory adjudication

Answer 1

• The adjudicator has no jurisdiction beyond that specified in the contract
• Adjudication does not always lead to final settlement of a dispute because either of the parties has the right to have the same dispute heard afresh in court
• Legal and expert fees are not normally recoverable, and mistakes can therefore cost significantly so there is little margin for error
• A mistaken decision has to be honoured in the short-term, which may cause issues of cash-flow
• There is no testing of evidence or assertions
