The 2024 report reveals a record number of 2,264 adjudication referrals, indicating the growing popularity of this dispute resolution method. The report also highlights progress in diversity initiatives, with 7 out of 10 participating Adjudicator Nominating Bodies (ANBs) now signatories to the Equal Representation in Adjudication Pledge.
