INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION ROUNDTABLE | Over the last decade the approach taken by commercial parties towards dispute resolution has changed. While traditional forms of dispute resolution remain popular, commercial parties are increasingly looking to alternative forms of dispute resolution mechanisms to find methods of dispute resolution which better suit their commercial needs and deliver efficient and effective results. But does mediation provide the answer? Read More INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE | Arbitration remains strong and widely accepted as a means of resolving international commercial disputes. Potentially, no other process offers such efficient, impartial, multilateral and clear business mechanism for complex disputes. View the insights from our FPD International Arbitration Panellists. Please note: The 'INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE' publication includes 2 CPD points for all Prime Dispute members. Read More WOMEN IN INTERNATIONAL LAW & ADR ROUNDTABLE | As the under-representation of senior women within the legal and ADR community remains a critical issue in the field, Prime Dispute fellows discuss the steps the community needs to take to overcome this lack of diversity, the development of the role of women in the profession and future challenges that will be faced by the next generation of female practitioners.

Read More International Arbitration News UK | The Commercial Court handed down a notable judgment today on the steps needed to appoint an #arbitrator - "If I am wrong, and it is necessary for the court to determine whether a binding contract has been concluded between the appointing party and the arbitrator, then I am satisfied that, as a matter of English #law at least, this is a context in which it will ordinarily behove the arbitrator to specify any conditions of their willingness to accept the appointment if they are to operate as a bar to appointment, failing which the arbitrator’s confirmation of their willingness to act (either in response to the arbitrating party’s offer of the appointment or where this is followed by that party’s confirmation of the appointment) are sufficient for the required contract to come into existence." Read More Mediation News Judgement | An interesting read for law firms and Mediators - The High Court has ruled that a #lawfirm should face some costs sanction for ignoring multiple requests to mediate a professional #negligence claim. "In circumstances where neither side made a cost-effective Part 36 offer, the Defendants' unreasonable conduct in relation to #mediation is in my judgment sufficiently marked by an order that they pay the Claimants' costs down to and including trial on the standard basis. That is an appropriate "sanction" for them not engaging in a process of #ADR which might have curtailed those costs in a significantly lower sum at an earlier stage of the proceedings."

Read More UK | The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) handed down a significant decision 'The Metropolitan Borough Council of Sefton v Allenbuild Ltd [2022] EWHC 1443 (TCC)' - HHJ Hodge QC enforced an adjudicator's decision, rejecting an application for a stay pending referral of the dispute to arbitration. This judgement will have significant implications for any contracts involving multiple dispute resolution procedures and construction contracts. An interesting decision and an insightful final paragraph "Give that practical completion of this construction project was certified almost 15 years ago, I recognise that the 'pay now, argue later' policy that underlies the adjudication provisions of the Construction Act has something of a hollow ring in the present case. However, in this court, hard cases do not make bad law." Read More UK | Useful read and watch for Adjudicators - Abbey Healthcare (Mill Hill) Ltd v Simply Construct (UK) LLP. [2022] EWCA Civ 823. This judgement provides useful guidance to adjudicators. The Court of Appeal restored clarity in this area of law, holding by a majority decision that collateral warranties can be classified as "construction contracts" in terms of section 104(1) of HGCRA 1996 and that accordingly there was a right to adjudicate under these forms of agreement. Read More UK | An interesting read for Adjudicators - In Liverpool City Council v Vital Infrastructure Asset Management (Viam) Ltd (In Administration) [2022] EWHC 1235 (TCC), HHJ Stephen Davies, sitting as a High Court judge in the TCC, held the #adjudicator had breached the rules of natural justice by deciding the dispute on a basis that neither party contended for and without giving the parties an opportunity to make submissions. This case is a stark reminder to adjudicators regarding the risks associated with not giving parties adequate opportunity to respond.

Read More Dispute Board News Overview | What are DBs, DRBs and DABS ? Read More Expert Witness News Overview | An interesting read for an #expertwitness - Specifically paragraphs 49 - 54. "Unfortunately, it was plain, throughout the course of the oral evidence given by Mr P and from various paragraphs of his report (such as paragraphs 5.50, 5.55 and 5.56) that he was arguing the Defendant’s case. A case to which Mr P repeatedly referred as “our case”. This was illustrated time and time again by Mr P not answering counsel’s questions, challenging the veracity of the underlying factual evidence presented by the Claimant, relying on argument rather than expert opinion and totally disregarding the merits of the argument being advanced by him. Mr. P's expert report suffered from many of the shortcomings that were evident during his oral evidence."

"I am truly indebted to my clients and peers for having helped me to be listed by Who's Who Legal as a Thought Leader in #Arbitration 2022. This is truly an honour and the highlight of my career in arbitration as an arbitrator, counsel and expert witness, which will definitively help my arbitration practice." Read More |
