Emmolina May Attending Asian Construction Expo with Building Disputes Tribunal

Ivan Chan and Michael Jamieson, esteemed members of the Building Disputes Tribunal, were joined by the highly regarded adjudicator Emmolina May at the prestigious Asian Construction Expo held on Saturday. This event, known for bringing together industry professionals, innovators, and stakeholders, provided a valuable platform for discussions on the latest trends and challenges within the construction sector.

During the expo, it was a pleasure to engage in meaningful conversations with a diverse array of attendees. Many participants expressed interest in understanding the intricacies of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. I had the opportunity to elaborate on how ADR can serve as an effective tool in the avoidance, management, and resolution of disputes that often arise in the building and construction industry. By employing techniques such as mediation and arbitration, parties can navigate conflicts more amicably and efficiently, thereby preserving relationships and reducing the costs and time associated with traditional litigation. The discussions highlighted the importance of proactive strategies in dispute resolution, emphasising that early intervention can lead to more favourable outcomes for all involved parties.
