Frustration with the legal system has led many in the construction industry to question the value of both litigation and arbitration as a means of resolving disputes. As a result, they have been looking at alternative dispute resolution options, whether ADR itself, mediation, adjudication or expert determination.

This volume looks at ADR and construction contracts, and considers experience overseas, including the USA, Australia and Hong Kong.

Subjects:
Construction Law
Contents:
Part 1 General: construction contracts - an inevitable source of conflict?; arbitration and litigation - a tarnished reputation; the growth of ADR overseas; the growth of ADR in the UK; mediation and conciliation; adjudication and expert determination; other forms of ADR; advantages and disadvantages of ADR.
Part 2 Dispute resolution in particular contract forms: sub-contract forms; ICE (6th edition), ICE Design and Construct, ICE Conciliation Procedure 1988; new engineering contract and sub-contract; government forms (GC/Works/1 Edition 3 and GW/S); other standard forms; ""bespoke"" contract forms.
