This Model Clause is one of the four UNCITRAL Model Clauses on Specialized Express Dispute Resolution (SPEDR) (2024) (the “Model Clauses”). The Model Clauses have been developed as part of UNCITRAL’s efforts to achieve three common objectives, namely, expeditious dispute resolution, comprehension of technical matters, and maintaining confidentiality. They are designed as a resource for businesses and practitioners engaging in international dispute resolution. The four Model Clauses are on: Highly Expedited Arbitration, Adjudication, Technical Advisers and Confidentiality. The Model Clauses are contractual texts, flexible enough for users to adapt and adjust them to their circumstances and preferences. Parties can use any of the model clauses individually or combine them as they wish, depending on their specific needs. For this reason, the Model Clauses are presented to potential users in both consolidated and separate formats, in order to accommodate their flexibility and facilitate its use. The Model Clauses are also accompanied by explanatory notes to promote their best possible use. These notes provide guidance to parties on their specific objectives and any associated risks or alternate approaches that can be adopted while including them in contracts. This Model Clause focuses on adjudication to resolve disputes while also allowing for full arbitration when a party deems it necessary. It enables parties to obtain a fast and cost-efficient determination by an adjudicator with the requisite expertise, which is essential for swiftly resolving disagreements and keeping a project on track. Although the determination is contractually binding and may be enforced in the near term, any party dissatisfied with the adjudicator’s decision retains the right to refer the dispute to arbitration (either under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (“UARs”) or the UNCITRAL Expedited Arbitration Rules (“Expedited Rules” or “EARs”) to obtain a final award on the same issues that were the subject of adjudication. UK Adjudicators are an appointing authority under the newly released UNCITRAL Model Clause on Adjudication. #UNCITRAL
