Is evaluative mediation the preferred model for construction law disputes? – Chris Lenz

It looks at recent research in other common law jurisdictions, as well as the prominent dispute resolution researchers to further examine the issue.

Interface risk – Paul Tobin
Managing interface risk requires a whole of contract approach, and a number of common contractual provisions may be relevant. AS 4902-2000, AS 4300-1995, GC21 (Ed 2) and FIDIC contracts are commonly used in high value construction projects, but do not manage interface risks adequately. This article identifies significant opportunities for improvement in each of those standard forms and suggests that alliancing, multipartite deeds, regular project meetings, programming, building information modelling and other legal and project management techniques can be useful in managing interface risks.
