Construction Disputes: Seeking Sensible Solutions

About the Product:

This book is based on the author's fifty years of expertise in international building projects, as well as dispute management and resolution. Wayne Clark's goal throughout the past fifty years has always been to encourage parties toward logical and transparent communication, developing relationships, and seeking early resolutions to their conflicts. His major purpose is to assist parties in avoiding avoidable conflict, a subject that runs throughout the novel. While two chapters are dedicated to formulating building claims in order to persuade a tribunal - and thereby urge the opposing party to reach an equitable settlement - The book covers a considerably broader range of topics, from the dream of the building owner through the contractor handing over the completed project, as well as sensible contract administration, settlement negotiations, the third-party resolution process, and, eventually, arbitration. The theme throughout each of these stages is for the parties to constantly explore methods to address their disputes. The book also introduces the concept of a'shadow arbitrator,' who, if commissioned early in the dispute process, can advise parties and legal counsel on how to prepare claims and arbitral briefs that will persuade a tribunal - and encourage the parties to find reasonable solutions.
