Construction Disputes
Take the Red Pill....
I was watching The Matrix film the other week and there is one scene that continues to jump into my mind in relation to my work in Dispute Resolution and Prevention.
Its the scene where Morpheus (cool shades) meets Neo for the first time and shows Neo what the Matrix is, by asking him to choose between taking a blue pill or a red pill.
Allow me to now recreate the scene between you and I. I will play Morpheus and you can be kick ass Neo. Ready? Action!! (Always wanted to say that..)
Retention - Its not big and its not clever...
Back in 1964 Sir Harold Banwell wrote about collaborative working practices (long before Latham and Egan). He also urged that retention be gradually phased out. Forty-five years on and there seems to be no sign that this unhelpful and persistent stalwart is on its way out.
Back in 2010 I wrote about the problems surrounding the release of retention at the Westfield Development in London.

Evolution of Disputes
Disputes – In the words of Bob Dylan "For the times, they are a-changin'.."*
I have been involved in more disputes than I can probably recollect over the last 20 years. There are two things that strike me about each and every one of these disputes and they are:
1. The dispute could have been very easily avoided
2. At least one of the parties is making the same repeated mistakes over and over and expecting a different result.
