| Abstract | Intimidation of adjudicators has been a controversial issue for several years; widely acknowledged as a concern, but rarely brought to light in the public arena. More recently, there has been an increase in discussion of the topic in the form of articles, talks and guidance; however much of this centres on the severely limited case law available, as well as some hypothetical discussion of what tends to happen in practice. Anecdotal evidence would seem to indicate that intimidation can take a range of forms, from spurious jurisdiction challenges; to deliberately delaying the process; or threatening to take some action against the adjudicator. However, there is a real and present lack of reliable research into intimidation and the extent to which adjudicators, and the process, are affected by it. Accordingly, research has been conducted in order to explore the issue and provide a starting point and benchmark for further investigation. From this initial analysis, it would appear that current guidance does not accurately reflect adjudicators’ perceptions and experiences of, or tolerance for, intimidation, nor does it take into consideration the necessary distinction between ‘real’ forms of intimidation and simple discourtesy. |
