His Honour Martin J also stated it was arguable the enforcement of the award could be refused under s 36 of the Commercial Arbitration Act 2013 (Qld) due to the public policy factors that it could result in double recovery & infringe WA's parliamentary privilege | #auslaw

The Supreme Court of Queensland has overturned an order for enforcement of two arbitral awards under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2013 (Qld) on the basis that the application should not have been made on an ex parte basis | #arbitration #auslaw https://t.co/WPADVdcmCH

My key takeaways include: before briefing an expert or appointing arbitrators gain insight into your experts past experience with those arbitrators & the aim of cross examination is to chip away at the other parties case and to take the tribunal to the key documents for your case

Yesterday as part of Australian #Arbitration Week 2019 I attended the @YoungICCA / ACICA 45 workshop on “Building your Case in International Abritration: Lay and Expert Evidence” | @CorrsProjects

[Corrs Projects @CorrsProjects]

In its decision to allow the appeal, the HCA held that
for uncompleted stages of the contract (not variations) the builder could claim
either damages in breach of contract or restitution for work and labour at a
fair value in accordance with the contract price #constructionlaw

[Corrs Projects @CorrsProjects]

The HCA today delivered its judgment in Mann v Paterson Construction and unanimously allowed the appeal from the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Victoria. A copy of the decision can be found at the following link:

The Fiocco Report has not adopted the Murray Report’s recommendation for a separate adjudication review process as it takes the adjudication schedule away from its original intent of ‘pay now, argue later' #auslaw #SecurityofPayment | https://t.co/xD1y0GwhAZ

[Corrs Projects @CorrsProjects]

The Fiocco Report has recommended that a claimant should have the right to suspend works where the respondent fails to either serve a payment schedule, pay a schedule amount on the due date, or fails to pay an adjudicated amount #auslaw #SecurityofPayment |https://t.co/xD1y0GwhAZ

[Cassia Storey @CassiaStorey]

New South Wales and Queensland have also passed some amendments to their legislation recently incorporating some recommendations proposed by the Murray Report |#SecurityofPayment

[Cassia Storey @CassiaStorey]

The Western Australian #SecurityofPayment report released yesterday provides the first detailed insight into how States may incorporate the Murray Report recommendations, if at all, and whether we will achieve Mr Murray’s aim for uniform legislations across Australia

[Corrs Projects @CorrsProjects]

The Fiocco Report has been released to improve #SecurityofPayment in WA. It adopts the Murray Report’s recommendation - there should be a civil penalty to govern acts of intimidation and retribution to deter a party from accessing remedies under the Act | https://t.co/xD1y0GwhAZ

[Cassia Storey @CassiaStorey]

My key takeaway from @SCLAust event on #Expert Determination’s last night: If it is available under the Contract you should only refer certain factual matters to this forum and refer other complex legal disputes to #arbitration or litigation | @CorrsConstruct

[Corrs Projects @CorrsProjects]

NSW's amendments to its #SecurityofPayment legislation was passed yesterday & is awaiting assent - a key amendment is that a terminated party can serve a payment on and from the date of termination, closing a loophole identified by HCA in [2016] HCA 52 | https://t.co/otmHxT5gjx

[Corrs Projects @CorrsProjects]

A recent VSCA decision found non-compliance with time limit for an #adjudication didn't invalidate an adjudication decision as it'd be inconsistent both with express provisions of #SecurityofPayment Act and the objects of the statutory scheme as a whole | https://t.co/116T2mmQ57
