Four Corners of the Contract - The Grey Areas
Best practice dictates that the Dispute Board stay within the four corners of the contract. What happens if you get outside the four corners, how do you get the process back on track? What if the contract is not following applicable law? Should the DB bring up things from the contract that the parties don’t raise?
Explore these nuances to Dispute Board practice on these topics and more, moderated by a panel representing all perspectives to the process: owner, contractor, and practitioner.
