The course also provided a helpful overview of the construction disputes that commonly arise. This ranged from disputes over design, delay or time, to, disputes involving fraud or unconscionability. There was an effective use of case studies and examples to illustrate the different issues that may arise and how to deal with such disputes.

I would also commend the course providers and speakers for their efforts in covering recent developments in construction law. The coverage of the changes to be made to the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (amendments now passed by Parliament but not yet in operation) was particularly interesting and useful.
