Walmsley, Richard

Dispute resolution - 2007 - Construction Law Review 2007 11-16(4) .

Examines mediation and adjudication, the two most commonly used forms of dispute resolution within the engineering and construction industry in the UK. Adjudication is best approached carefully, with the dispute being clearly defined. It should be used strategically. It is best to focus on the larger issues with most chance of success. Mediation does not seek to impose decisions but rather encourages them to properly understand their respective positions. Also considers differences in adjudication law between Scotland and England and Wales. An increasing number of people are looking to fast track arbitration to offer speedy and final dispute resolution.
