Description
Our panel discusses how to make construction arbitration more efficient, both as to duration and cost, without compromising on the requirement for robust enforceable awards. Can/should construction arbitrations follow the adjudication approach of quick and dirty justice? Will the new UK Arbitration Act make a difference? Is summary determination a viable option in complex arbitrations? In the ‘safe space’ of GAR Live, the audience will be encouraged to suggest their own ideas to streamline construction arbitrations for discussion by the panel.
