Day 4 (2 hours)

Assessment based on hypothetical scenario:

Scenario: A construction claim has arisen due to a delay caused by a contractor’s failure to complete work on time. The claim has gone to international arbitration, and the course attendees have been assigned to (i) represent the owner (ii) be an expert witness for the contractor (iii) be a fact witness for the contractor or (iv) member of the arbitration tribunal. The contractor argues that the delay was caused by unforeseeable circumstances, and they are not liable for the delay. The arbitration is international and seated in Toronto.

Assessment Task: Analyse the claim and propose a practical solution for your role in the arbitration proceedings. In your analysis, identify the relevant principles and analyse the facts of the claim. In your proposed solution, consider the latest trends of Canadian courts and trends from U.S., U.K., and other common law jurisdictions and provide a practical solution for managing the arbitration proceedings.

Assessment Criteria:

• Identification of relevant legal principles and their application to the case.
• Analysis of the facts of the case and the identification of key issues.
• Consideration of the judicial guidance in construction claims.
• Proposed solution that demonstrates practical application of legal concepts to manage the arbitration proceedings.

Assessment Outcome: Attendees will be assessed based on their ability to analyse the construction claim, identify the relevant legal principles, and propose a practical solution for managing the arbitration proceedings. The assessment will measure their ability to apply legal concepts to real-world scenarios and demonstrate their proficiency in managing construction disputes. The outcome of the assessment will be used to gauge their understanding of the course material and practical application of legal concepts to construction arbitration proceedings.
