| Description | The extent of the adjudicator's role, responsibilities and powers are set out in a number of provisions of the Act and also within the Code of Practice. Section 6(8) provides that the adjudicator shall act impartially and comply with the Code of Practice. One of the adjudicator's most wide-ranging powers arises under Section 6(9) which entitles the adjudicator to take the initiative in ascertaining the facts and law in deciding a payment dispute. In addition, paragraph 24 of the Code of Practice empowers the adjudicator to, amongst other things, request documents, invite written submissions and evidence from the parties, meet jointly with the parties and question them, make site visits and inspections, appoint experts, assessors or legal advisors, give directions as to the timetable, or conduct of the adjudication. In exercising these powers, carrying out the role, and conducting the adjudication, the adjudicator must at all times act impartially. Pursuant to Section 6(14) the adjudicator is immune from liability in respect of the role provided that he does not act in bad faith. Section 6(17) provides that the adjudicator may resign from the role at any time. Book Name: Adjudication Practice and Procedure in Ireland |
