This is our eighth session in the International Construction Arbitration Perspectives on Best Practice series, hosted by the Centre of Construction Law & Dispute Resolution at King’s College London in collaboration with Pinsent Masons LLP. As the series enters its final phase, this penultimate session brings together again leading practitioners to examine one of the defining stages of construction arbitration.
This session focuses on advanced best practices for eliciting and presenting both factual and expert evidence. Drawing on practical experience from experienced arbitral counsel, an experienced arbitrator and an experienced expert witness, the panel will examine the evidential strategies that most directly shape the conduct, quality and efficiency of proceedings in construction disputes. In practice, it is the effective identification, structuring and testing of evidence that most often determines how issues are resolved by means of the main evidential hearing, and how it can be conducted with proportionality and procedural discipline.
Topics will range from the adoption of evidence protocols and early issues mapping, to the development, presentation and testing of factual and expert evidence, including the management of witness scope and tribunal-led expert gatekeeping.
