Document Summary

Must attend a 3 hour mediation in civil court. Sets up and adr system in contract before problems arise. They can put as much or as little power in that dispute resolution board as they like. Ex act as a mediator, act as an arbiter offer advice etc. This way if problems come up a system is in place without needing to use civil action. Partnering construction philosophy / attitude not legal rule. Not uncommon in contracts involving a lot of other parties ex construction contracts for each party inside of contract to view itself as an island and become demanding legalistic. The idea of partnering construction is to view yourself as partners and trying to work together to achieve a common goal. Ex have meetings to update everyone on progress of project. View as a group to complete project as easily and efficiently and quickly to complete contracts as opposed to fighting in small disputes.
