About the Workshop
APIEx is proud to announce this workshop on Scott Schedules.
Learning Objectives< /p>
Rather than focusing solely on the conventional use of Scott Schedules by expert witnesses in dispute res olution, this workshop provides contract administrators with a broader and more practical perspective on the tool. The key learning points are as foll ows:
1. Effective Contr act Administration
Scot t Schedules serve as an effective method to document differences in the par ties’ views and regarding their various claims — both during the contract p eriod and the maintenance (defects liability) period. Beyond mere record-ke eping, they optimise efficiencies by identifying differences in position be tween the contractor and contract administrator at an early stage, thereby promoting the efficient resolution of such works and, critically, supportin g the avoidance of disputes through early settlement of conflicts.
2. Perspective from Expert Witn esses and Legal Counsel
Beyond contract administration, Scott Schedules serve as an important tool for expert witnesses and legal counsel should matters escalate to legal pr oceedings. Their perspectives also assist contract administrators to preven t disputes from arising. It also assists contract administrators in making fair and reasonable decisions in executing their roles and duties.
3. SOP Act Adjudications
Scott Schedules are increasin gly used by adjudicators in SOP Act adjudications. Presentation in the form of a Scott Schedule assists the adjudicator with well-organised comparison s of the positions of various parties.
4. Arbitration Proceedings
Use of Scott Schedules are also commonplace in arbitrat ion — often consolidating the key tenets of the contract administrator's de cision through to expert witness opinion and legal counsel's arguments, in a credible and persuasive format before an arbitrator.
