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.
Jeremy Glover and Claire King of Fenwick Elliott joined Raquel Macedo Moreira of King’s College London to explore key findings from two ground-breaking reports about dispute avoidance and resolution mechanisms.
In this Insight we review the findings of the Report and crucially, whether the data suggests Dispute Boards actually work in preventing disputes and/or preventing disputes escalating. If they do, to what extent are they cost effective?
