SUMMARY:Canada-UK Roundtable: Dispute Resolution and Conflict Avoidance
DESCRIPTION:Canada invested $90 billion on infrastructure in 2021\, over two thirds of that came from the public sector. With the scale\, geographic spread\, and mix of investments there will inevitably be issues arising that can lead to claims and disputes that can ultimately end up in court. \nBased on research by HKA covering almost 100 Canadian projects\, claims bumped up project costs by an average of 22 per cent\, and extended timeframes by 9.5 months. KPMG also estimated claims on urban transit projects could amount to between 10-20% of the contract value. \nThis roundtable provides an overview of how the UK introduced a new process of conflict avoidance spearheaded by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Transport for London. The Conflict Avoidance Process has helped slash the number of issues reaching dispute\, cut the direct cost of resolving issues\, and reduced contract cost increases markedly. \nThis session will explore the success of the Conflict Avoidance Process at Transport for London\, its use across the infrastructure sector in the UK\, its evolution into an industry-wide pledge\, and its incorporation within UK government policy. \nParticipants: \nCo-Chairs: \n\nBarbara Capes\, Assistant General Counsel\, Kiewit\nPaul Hughes\, Senior Director Cost Consulting and Project Management\, Altus\n\nPanelists: \n\nFergus Harradence\, Deputy Director\, Infrastructure and Construction\, UK Department for Business\, Energy and Industry Strategy\nSusan Barrett\, Head of Renewals and Renovations\, UK Houses of Parliament\nMartin Burns\, Head of ADR Research and Development\, RICS\nJohn Fletcher\, Director Alternative Dispute Resolution\, RICS
