Procedural Orders and Preliminary Meetings in International Construction Arbitration

Richard Harding QC

October 2012

A paper presented to the International Construction Law Conference held in London on 24th September 2012

Procedural orders are often not given the attention they deserve, Richard Harding begins. It is essential that the procedure is carefully though through at an early stage and appropriate directions given. He goes on to consider the steps that should be taken, including practical recommendations.

Construction Law: The First 25 Years

John Uff CBE QC FREng

August 2012

A paper presented to the Centre of Construction Law 25th Anniversary Conference held at King's College, London on 28th June 2012

John Uff, who was the Founding Director of the King's Centre, looks at the growth of the Centre over the last 25 years, against the background of the evolution of construction law during the same period. He points out that in 1987 'construction law' was in its infancy and limited to the law of construction disputes, and contrasts that with the breadth of the subject in 2012.
