The Ciarb Scottish Branch is an Adjudicator Nominating Body for the purpose of the Scheme for Construction Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 1998 as amended by The Scheme for Construction Contracts (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011.

Adjudication is a "fast track" binding interim method of dispute resolution introduced by section 108 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 for all construction contracts (as defined by the Act) entered into on or after 1 May 1998. The Act was amended by the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act (2009) having effect on all construction contracts entered into in Scotland on or after 1 November 2011. Adjudication is a widely utilised and effective means of dispute resolution in the construction industry. Many of our members are regular participants in the process and the Chairman's Panel of Adjudicators is a collective of highly qualified and experienced professionals with particular expertise in conducting the process.

Those who seek appointment to the Panel are required to meet the Criteria for selection to the Panel of Adjudicators and to complete an Application Form for selection.

Those already on the Branch Panels should note the limit of tenure provisions and the transitional provisions. Please note the Scottish Branch panel is always open.

If you would like more information on how to join our Panel please contact scotland@ciarb.org.

If you require the selection of an adjudicator we can assist. Please complete the application form and send it by post and email, along with your cheque for GBP 250.00 + VAT made payable to The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Scottish Branch) or Ciarb (Scottish Branch).

Please note that an application cannot be processed until we are in receipt of the application fee and the fee is not refundable if you subsequently withdraw your application.
