    The Adjudicator - What is their role and how to appoint one

    Who is the adjudicator? What powers do they have, and how do you appoint one? We unravel common misunderstandings surrounding this stage of the process. Our concluding case study highlights what 'pay now, argue later' means and touches on what happens when a decision is later reversed by the court and if that affects who pays the adjudicator?  Hosted on Acast.
