Session Abstract:
Join us for a discussion about the adjudication process under Ontario’s Construction Act that was introduced in October 2019. Depending on the nature of what is being adjudicated, the Certificate of Practice holder – who may or may not be retained for construction phase services -- may be requested by a party to an adjudication to provide an opinion about the intent of construction documents or their adequacy.

• Gain an understanding of the ins and outs of the adjudication process including how adjudications are commenced and what the key timelines are.
• Gain an understanding of the architect’s role and responsibilities in relation to the architectural services contract and in relation to the administration of the construction contract.
• Learn what types of disputes can be adjudicated.
• Learn some of the important differences between adjudication and other methods of dispute resolution such as arbitration and litigation.
• Learn some key considerations for consultants performing construction contract administration in circumstances where their owner client is engaging in an adjudication with the construction contractor.
