Complaints

The CIC ANB Complaints Procedure enables complaints to be raised about an adjudicator appointed by the CIC with the aim of maintaining the highest standards of performance from adjudicators included on the CIC Register of Adjudicators.

A complaint can be submitted by either party (or party’s representative) in an adjudication where the adjudicator has been nominated by the CIC.

The CIC will investigate a complaint in an administrative capacity about the manner in which an adjudication has been dealt with, therefore the outcome of can never be compensation or amendment of an Adjudicator’s decision.
