COURSE ON CONDUCT AND PRACTICE OF ARBITRATION

Background: In light of the diverse range of activities undertaken by the National Construction Council, including its role in facilitating the resolution of disputes within the construction industry through alternative mechanisms rather than the judicial system, we have taken notice of instances where improper conduct has been observed in the process of resolving disputes. In response to this noteworthy concern, the National Construction Council is taking proactive steps to address the matter. We are pleased to announce the forthcoming comprehensive three-day course focused on the intricacies of Conduct and Practice of Arbitration. This initiative is poised not only to enhance awareness but also to elevate the standards within the construction industry's dispute resolution landscape.
