20.01.2022 What is Expert Determination? In practice, Expert Determination is a process where an independent expert decides an issue between the parties. The disputants agree beforehand whether or not they will be bound by the decision of the expert. Expert Determination provides an informal, speedy and effective way of resolving disputes, particularly disputes which are of a specific technical character or specialised kind. Unlike arbitration, Expert Determination is not governed by l...egislation. The adoption of Expert Determination is a consensual process by which the parties agree to take defined steps in resolving disputes. Expert Determination clauses frequently incorporate terms by reference such as procedural rules laid down by various institutes. Although the precise terms of these rules and guidelines vary, they have in common that they provide a contractual process by which expert determination is conducted.

18.01.2022 What is a Delay and Disruption Claim? Delay and disruption are endemic in the construction industry and lead to time and cost overruns. In construction contracts, the term ‘disruption’ refers to a loss of productivity due to a hindrance or interruption of the progress of the construction works which reduces the rate of efficiency.... If disruption is caused by the employer, the contractor may have grounds to seek compensation. Disruption , and claims arising to try and recoup losses incurred from it, are common on construction project, particularly on larger and more complex projects. The difference between disruption and delay is that the latter relates to lateness rather than productivity, although they can often be related. Delays can cause disruptions, and vice versa. Despite their inter-relation, they require a different approach to assessing claims. It is therefore essential that delays and/or disruptions are identified early so that corrective action can be taken. However, when delay and/or disruption actually occurs, the issue of quantifying the period of any delay, the effects of disruption, and the quantification of the resulting loss during, and especially at the end, of a project is complicated. If you wish to find out how our Delay and Disruption Claim Specialists, can assist you to select an appropriate claim strategy, feel free to book a free consultation with our team in Sydney and Melbourne.
