This paper sets out an overview of the development of statutory adjudication, noting its origin in the UK and comparing adjudication in different jurisdictions, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa. Through appraisal of the statistics of case workload referred to different dispute resolution methods, this paper considers the impact this procedure has had upon other dispute resolution processes. From the UK experience, the adoption of a statutory adjudication scheme by any jurisdiction is likely to result in significant reductions in most other forms of dispute resolution.
