Disputes are inevitable in construction contracts. Some may be resolved through negotiation but some may
end up in arbitration or litigation. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for a construction professional like
you to grasp the essentials of the entire arbitration process in order to perform your duties and obligations.
Typical questions that may arise include:
- “Should the dispute be referred to arbitration or litigation?”
- “How should the arbitrator be chosen?”
- “Can the disputes be truncated into different arbitrations?”
- “What are interlocutory applications?”
- “Should we find an expert?”
- “Can the cost be recovered if the arbitration is successful? If so, how much?”
- “Is the award final and binding? Is there any chance for appeal?”
