Our Senior Partner, Simon Tolson, is a past Chair of TeCSA,
the Technology and Construction Solicitors Association. Here, in an
extract from a paper prepared for the TeCSA Adjudicator Panel,
Simon explains what makes a good Adjudicator.
Key Characteristics of an effective Adjudicator –
attributes and skills
The TeCSA view has always been that it should set appropriately
high standards for those who join its adjudication panel and who
therefore may be nominated from time to time to act as Adjudicator.
TeCSA keeps these issues under regular review as the law and
practice is ever moving.
This is natural and normal as TeCSA has been at the heart of the
development of statutory adjudication since even before its
introduction with the 1996 Act. Indeed TeCSA (then ORSA) produced
the first set of compliant adjudication rules in 1995.
