Summer 2006

Our 10th Summer Review continues to reflect the needs and demands of our clients both at home and internationally.  Thus the Review discusses both the impact of the latest adjudication decisions from the Courts and also the establishment of dispute boards, focusing on the selection, nomination and appointment of the board members.  We also compare and contrast the various dispute resolution procedures open to those seeking to resolve their differences outside of the Courts.

The Review also considers a number of practical tips to deal with the problems caused by letters of intent and novation and provides a timely warning on the duties of construction professionals for those who work on an in-house basis. 

In addition, the Review contains its regular round up of the key construction cases from the past 12 months taken from the Dispatch and Construction Industry Law Letter.
