11.05 - 11.25 Morning Break

SESSION 2: DEBATE ON THE MOTION: “THE NEXT DECADE WILL WITNESS PARTIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY BECOMING MORE CONTENTIOUS AND LESS COLLABORATIVE” Collaborative contracting models, in the last couple of years, have been one of the hottest topics being discussed within the construction industry… until the narrative switched to all things related to COVID-19. However, in the aftermath of what has been an unprecedented level of disruption to the construction industry arising from the impacts of a ‘neutral event’, the question that is now raised is whether or not Parties will be more inclined to have more definition around the risks they carry. Accordingly, during the selection of procurement methods in the short to medium term future, will Parties to new construction contracts be less inclined to ‘experiment’ with shared risk models. 11.25 - 12.55 The panel of debaters will comprise of distinguished professionals representing different types of stakeholders to a construction contract. The debate will undoubtedly be an entertaining, yet highly informative session, which will hopefully provoke the return of proactive thought leadership in what has become a highly reactive environment.

SESSION 3: “POSITIVES AND PITFALLS OF VIRTUAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION – WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT SO FAR?” In an attempt to keep the world of dispute resolution in motion, numerous disputes have been forced down a new path since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parties, tribunals, mediators, advocates, legal representatives and 14.00 – 15.30 factual and expert witnesses have all embarked on a hitherto rarely utilised medium in such forums by conducting hearings via video conferencing. The utilisation of video conferencing to conduct oral hearings led to a requirement for new rules and guidance notes to be published. This emergence led to steep learning curves for all and for some increasing paranoia as to whether the available platforms provided sufficient security, privacy, transparency and control for the proper conduct of an arbitral process as those involved know it. Our eminent panel of speakers have all had the pleasure and/or displeasure of being involved in virtual hearings and will provide intriguing insights into the future or otherwise of virtual hearings in a post-COVID-19 world.
