August 2001

A paper based on a talk given to a meeting of the Society of Construction
Law in London on 5th June 2001.

The authors explain 'contracted mediation' and how it differs
from mediation, which is normally used when the dispute is already mature.
They explain how it provides an ongoing mediation resource form the outset
to help avoid, manage or resolve disputes in project based industries,
with a panel appointed at the beginning of the project.
