This article contends that this trend is an undesirable response to the current inefficiency of commercial arbitration and litigation in Australia. Expert determination is most effective in circumstances where the dispute falls within the expert\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s technical qualifications, and a more formal process in the nature of a judicial enquiry is not required. It is hoped that Australia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ongoing domestic commercial arbitration reforms will once again make arbitration the preferred mechanism for resolving general disputes arising under construction contracts. This in turn could encourage parties to employ expert determination in the more selective and appropriate way suggested.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6\/articles\/389\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=8&amp;hit=5&amp;hits=6&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=FtfpcRacyhycaei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fixed time\/fixed price contracting: Rethinking adversarialism \u00e2\u20ac\u201c can you have your cake and eat it?<\/a> <\/em><\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Marko Misko and Shannon Radomski<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This article proposes the development of a new standard form fixed time\/fixed price collaborative contract; combining the benefits of a risk allocation providing legal certainty of time, cost and quality outcomes with the commercial flexibility and opportunities of relationship contracting. Central to this approach is the use of a PRISM (a proactive risk and issue settlement model) to promote the commercial resolution of all risks and issues before they give rise to contractual claims and disputes.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Sections<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6\/articles\/374_Br\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=8&amp;hit=2&amp;hits=6&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=Br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOOK REVIEW<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <em>Christopher Larcos<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The Law of Construction Disputes <\/em>by Cyril Chern<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6\/articles\/375\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=8&amp;hit=3&amp;hits=6&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=Toi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TOPIC OF INTEREST<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Limitation when suing for defects and joint or several tortfeasors and no contribution <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Adrian Bellemore <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6\/articles\/400\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/BCL\/volumes\/27\/parts\/6___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=8&amp;hit=6&amp;hits=6&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REPORTS<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Shoalhaven City Council v Firedam Civil Engineering Pty Ltd<\/em><em><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Cardno BSD Pty Ltd v Water Corporation (No 2)<\/em><em><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>St Hilliers Contracting Pty Ltd v Dualcorp Civil Pty Ltd<\/em><em><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Pearl Hill Pty Ltd v Concorp Construction Group (Vic) Pty Ltd<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the pdf version of the table of contents, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/2011\/11\/25\/building-and-construction-law-journal-update-december-2011\/bldg-constn-law-jnl-conts-vol-27-no-6-dec-11\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3010\">BCL Vol 27 Pt 6 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last Part of the 2011 volume of the Building and Construction Law Journal includes articles on expert determination as a means of resolving general disputes arising under construction contracts and fixed time\/fixed price collaborative contracts.
