Course Overview

Ambiguity in amicable contractual dispute settlement is resolved against the party that drafted it. Most contractual disputes about dispute settlement are decided by what was written, not what was intended. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the legal and contractual practice discipline. The difficulty is not agreeing that amicable contractual dispute settlement matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of legal and contractual practice work with the resources they already have. Mature organisations treat dispute settlement as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Every module pairs a short input on amicable contractual dispute settlement with structured practice on the participant's own material. Participants leave with a method for dispute settlement, not a set of opinions about it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within legal and contractual practice survives a hostile question.
