The document discusses alternative dispute resolution (ADR) for commercial construction contract disputes in Ireland. It makes three key points:
1) ADR processes like arbitration, mediation, and conciliation all occur behind closed doors, maintaining confidentiality of proceedings and outcomes. This has both benefits and drawbacks for resolving disputes and industry learning.
2) The new adjudication process established in 2013 provides another option for resolving payment disputes, but it remains untested in Ireland and may face legal challenges regarding fairness.
3) Mediation and conciliation remain the best forums for construction dispute resolution if parties engage in good faith, but dispute prevention through robust project management is most important.

Pragmatic Uses for Decision Trees in Settlement DiscussionsJohn DeGroote
The document discusses the pragmatic uses of decision trees in settlement discussions.

Decision trees provide an objective analysis that considers all perspectives, rather than relying on subjective guesses. The document provides examples of decision trees and outlines the basic steps to create one. It also addresses criticisms of decision tree analysis and argues they can benefit both commercial and other types of cases.

This document discusses capturing and analyzing data from contracts to identify patterns and reduce duplication of efforts. It proposes collecting summary data on deal terms, parties, contract type, risks, spend, and turnaround time. This data could drive contracting standards and help answer questions more quickly. While some may resist changes that could impact the status quo, the document argues that most of this data already exists and could have unrealized value if structured and analyzed properly. An open source contract intake system is provided as an example for capturing this data.
