Adjudicator Nominating Bodies under the Construction Industry Security of Payment Ordinance (Cap. 652)
Adjudication is meant to provide rapid dispute resolution on an interim basis and the nomination and appointment of adjudicators by an Adjudicator Nominating Body ("ANB") as agreed by the contracting parties is intended to be carried out shortly after the service of the notice of adjudication. To ensure the timely appointment of adjudicators within the specified time limit, DEVB established and maintained the register of ANBs ("the Register") that are authorised to perform the functions of an ANB under the Construction Industry Security of Payment Ordinance (Cap. 652).
