Arbitration: Salient Features of Multiparty Disputes

May 2023Arbitration Construction

Abstract

Multiparty disputes stand at a watershed. There is a widespread scholarly scepticism regarding the set up and conduct of arbitration. The worlds of multiparty disputes and business look towards each other with greater intensity than ever before. Analysis will report upon the institutional and legal environment of joinder and consolidation. This study will reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the procedural conduct for an arbitral tribunal. The aim is to distil the essence of multiparty arbitration in a construction project setting and disseminate some developing perspectives of a level-playing field in the claims environment. It is hoped that the examination of the instant and longer-term opportunities will direct in-house counsels to fathom the competitive advantages of the multiparty arbitral regime.
