Abstract

Construction contracts are the most complicated contracts in international trade law. The long- term nature and the significance of time and cost in these contracts has led to efforts in the international scale to prevent the emergence of any disputes in this regard. The expensive and long term character of recourse to classic institutions of dispute settlement in these contracts causes the project to stop for a long period and amounts to a huge expenditure.Therefore, the organizations working in this area incorporated the ” Dispute Adjudication Board” in their unified construction contracts. The Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) minimizes the incidence of disputes in construction contracts and plays an important role in solving the rest of the dispute. This paper tries to answer some basic questions about the DAB process including: What is a DAB? Is DAB the same as other ADR methods? What is the structure of a DAB? What are the advantages and disadvantages of DAB? What is the role of DAB at final proceeding?
