"Mediation in construction disputes: an interim report"

June 2007

King's College, with the support of the Technology and Construction Court, is carrying out a survey on the use and effectiveness of mediation in construction disputes.  The survey commenced on 1 June 2006 and is almost at its halfway point.  Nicholas Gould summarises the interim results of that survey based on the results collected in the first quarter of the survey period.  The purposes of the research include identifying the circumstances where mediation is a true alternative to litigation, highlighting the most successful mediation techniques and assisting the Court in determining whether and at what stage it should encourage mediation.
