Expert determination and tribunal appointments

What we do

• Acting as expert determiner, where a contract or the parties refer a quantum, delay or technical dispute to an independent expert for a decision.
• Expert evidence in pre-arbitral expert procedures, before any arbitration starts.
• Expert advice to a party in an expert determination.
• Tribunal appointments: technical arbitrator, construction adjudicator and dispute board member.

Experience

• Quantum expert in a pre-arbitral expert procedure on phosphate processing facilities in North Africa, giving written and oral testimony.
• Expert advice in an ICC expert determination between employer and contractor on phosphate plants in North Africa.
• Expert determiner on a UK land development dispute.
• Technical arbitrator on three-member international tribunals, including a pipeline dispute in Oman.
• Construction adjudicator listed on the ICE, CIC and UK Adjudicators panels; DRBF-trained and certified dispute board member.

Independence and conflicts

A determiner or tribunal member must be independent of both parties. Before accepting any appointment we check every party, and their parent and related companies, against our records, including the appointments our people hold as arbitrators, adjudicators and dispute board members. Stephen’s tribunal appointments are taken through his own practice and are included in every Davies Kelly conflict check. Read how we work.
