Course Overview
Most contractual disputes about construction contract dispute settlement are decided by what was written, not what was intended. Ambiguity in dispute settlement is resolved against the party that drafted it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the practice within legal and contractual practice hard in practice. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with construction contract dispute settlement. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of legal and contractual practice so that teams can disagree productively about it. Most organisations already have a policy on dispute settlement; far fewer can show it working. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to construction contract dispute settlement in an order their organisation can absorb. Practitioner evidence points the same way: dispute settlement improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of legal and contractual practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
