SUMMARY:Concurrent session 6B: Statutory adjudication and beyond: compara
 tive insights into construction dispute mechanisms across jurisdictions
DESCRIPTION:Statutory adjudication is designed to provide a quick\, flexi
 ble and efficient means of resolving payment disputes which may otherwis
 e delay or disrupt the completion of a construction contract. In countri
 es which have enacted legislation for statutory adjudication such as Aus
 tralia\, Malaysia\, New Zealand\, Singapore and the United Kingdom\, the
  statutory process has become one of the primary methods of resolution o
 f disputes for domestic construction projects. Hong Kong has recently ta
 ken a significant step by gazetting its Construction Industry Security o
 f Payment Bill\, and once enacted\, aims to serve a similar purpose as o
 ther statutory adjudication regime. At the same time\, countries such as
  India\, Japan and Korea have navigated large scale construction and inf
 rastructure disputes without the aid of statutory adjudication. Instead\
 , these jurisdictions rely on other modes of alternative dispute resolut
 ion for resolving construction disputes. In this session\, the speakers 
 from Hong Kong\, Malaysia and Singapore will provide a comparative analy
 sis of the statutory adjudication regime in their respective jurisdictio
 ns as well as the lessons learnt and the future of the regime. Thereafte
 r\, speakers from India\, Korea and Japan will share insights into the v
 arious mechanisms available in their jurisdictions in dealing with const
 ruction disputes\, the effectiveness of the same and how these have deve
 loped over the years.
