It is evident that the implementation of this Adjudication regime has largely benefitted those who are legally bonded in the construction contract. The sufficient time given for the start, up to the end of the adjudication determination has helped in resolving the disputes efficiently between the Claimants and Respondents. However, there are still many Claimants and Respondents who failed to follow the stringent timeline closely, resulting in putting themselves in a disadvantage position under the Adjudication. The most common problems are the inability to file Adjudication Responses within 7 days.
