The application of construction dispute procedures has changed
dramatically in the last decade. This has resulted in an increased
use of Alternative Dispute Resolution in many countries, and
mediation in particular. Construction is one of the major
industries using mediation, in the UK and in many other countries
such as the US, China, Australia and New Zealand. This expansion in
mediation has been helped by encouragement from governments,
although it takes diverse forms in different legal jurisdictions,
for example: court rules to encourage this use (as in the US and
UK); the courts' own mediation schemes or programmes, or
legislation-backed programmes; or the use of industry driven
mediation clauses in standard form contracts. These developments
have taken place extremely rapidly. They represent significant
changes to the legal environment within which the international
construction industry conducts its business but, to date, there has
been little research on their impact. All these initiatives have
inevitably led to a developing legal jurisprudence concerned with
the validity of contract clauses or with providing statutory
interpretation of the rules requiring or governing practice. This
has important consequences for the construction industry because
legal uncertainty increases the likelihood of dispute, which is not
only costly for the disputants but can be damaging to national and
global economies. This book identifies the emerging international
practices within construction mediation, and seeks solutions to the
many legal and commercial challenges which they pose. It presents
an international collection of reviews by experts, and allows a
comparative commentary on the practice of construction mediation
and the legal challenges facing its development.
