A comparison of dispute review boards and adjudication

Groton, J.

A comparison of dispute review boards and adjudication - 2001 - International Construction Law Review 18(2) April 2001, 275-291(17) .

Compares the development and characteristics of the United States' Dispute Review Board System (DRBS) with the English adjudication process. Dispute Review Boards have proved remarkably successful, although a few of the non-binding decisions issued have been taken to a binding dispute resolution process, and are growing in popularity. Considers the objectives of dispute resolution systems and precursors to DBRS and adjudication and includes and analysis of the difference between the two systems. Concludes that the results of DBRS is generally more satisfactory to the parties involved than those of adjudication but acknowledges that this may reflect that fact that it is voluntarily entered into.
