Cases on which he has worked include the Tsing Ma Bridge, Heathrow Tunnel Collapse, the Broadgate development and MEPAS tunnel dispute. Also acted for major German contractors on a number of substantial ICC Arbitrations and other disputes. Acted for parties involved in adjudication and on enforcement of adjudicator’s decisions. Involved in many of the reported enforcement decisions including Edmund Nuttall Ltd. v R G Carter Ltd. Dominic is a regular contributor to the construction and legal press and speaker on construction law. Co-editor of Construction Law Journal and accredited adjudicator for the Technology and Construction Solicitors Association (“TeCSA”).

The advent and popularity of Adjudication as a means of resolving construction disputes taken together with the introduction of the new Civil Procedure Rules has caused all involved to re-think the process of dispute resolution in the UK and a great deal of cases concerning both have been through the courts. This does not mean that Arbitration has been ignored and many of the decided cases have concerned Arbitration or have a significant impact it including when a dispute is crystallised, the correct way to apportion costs and apparent bias of the tribunal.
