Argues against the recovery of costs in adjudication cases. Points to the differences between adjudication and other dispute resolution methods such as arbitration and litigation, and stresses that allowing a party to recover their costs in adjudication would make it a less accessible option. Claims that adjudicators do not have the necessary skills to assess parties costs and concludes that the Construction Act 1996 should be amended to clarify thatadjudicators should not award costs against either party.
