Most construction disputes involve complex technical and factual issues, voluminous documents, many witnesses and long project history. As a result, it takes a long time and significant amount of legal costs to resolve a construction dispute. The Civil Justice Reform ('CJR') which just came into effect on 2 April 2009 aims to reduce delay and legal costs of construction disputes in the High Court.
This seminar will discuss the impact of the new CJR rules and explain the new matters which you should pay attention to when you are involved in a construction litigation.
