Elizabeth will comment on why the post - Covid 19 world may drive more collaborative/partnering-type behaviours in major long term projects, particularly on dealing with variations and delays.  She will also consider the merits of dispute avoidance and adjudication boards to get to a quick and contemporaneous resolution of causes of delay.

This will be the 5th meeting of the group, providing a platform for discussion of topics of interest and regular interaction between members, their guests and speakers involved with dispute resolution and avoidance. This interactive Breakfast Meet will be of interest to users, funders, lawyers and Dispute Board members in particular, including DRBF UK Members.
