Masterclass for Adjudicators — 16 May 2025
SMC Masterclass Series
Principles of Natural Justice–A Refresher for Adjudicators
Synopsis
Under Section 16(5)(c) of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004, adjudicators are required to uphold the principles of natural justice. The Code of Conduct for Adjudicators reinforces this duty, and any breach may constitute misconduct under the Disciplinary Rules, potentially leading to an invalid adjudication determination.
A failure to uphold natural justice not only impacts individual cases but also undermines public confidence in the adjudication system.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this masterclass, learners will have a deeper understanding of:
- The Principles of Natural Justice
- Relevant provisions of the Act
- The Code of Conduct for Adjudicators
- Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC)’s practice directions
Presented by
Mr. Chia Chor Leong
(Senior Adjudicator, Singapore Mediation Centre)
