“Establishing dispute boards; selecting, nominating and appointing dispute board members”

Marking 50 years of Dispute Boards and drawing on King’s College London’s 2024 international survey, this article traces research into their effectiveness - from the first Board and early U.S. studies, through data from U.S. transport agencies and global DRBF research, to developments in Southeast Asia - before comparing these findings with the latest Report.

This paper seeks to trace briefly the development of dispute board rules and outline some of the key issues in relation to the rules that might be commonly encountered.

Victoria Russell provided a case law update paper and talk to the members of the South East branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators discussing the most recent decisions relating to adjudication enforcement and arbitration.
