Ireland鈥擬ethods of alternative dispute resolution This Practice Note provides an overview and introduction to forms of alternative dispute resolution commonly used to settle disputes in Ireland: direct negotiation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration and conciliation. It provides an overview of the key features of these forms of alternative dispute resolution and the governing legislation, namely, the Mediation Act 2017 (Ireland) (MA 2017 (IRL)), the Construction Contracts Act 2013 (Ireland) (CCA 2013 (IRL)) and the Arbitration Act 2010 (Ireland) (AA 2010 (IRL)). Forms of alternative dispute resolution Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provides a voluntary alternative to litigation to settle civil disputes. The most popular ADR methods used in Ireland will be well recognised to those practising in other common law jurisdictions: arbitration, mediation, direct negotiation and construction adjudication. The process of conciliation, commonly used in Ireland for the resolution of both employment and construction disputes, will often not be familiar to those who practice elsewhere. There is also modest use of other processes on the ADR spectrum, such as expert determination. Likewise, escalating...

It describes the reasons why this may be required, the likely objection from an opponent that the party is engaging in 鈥榚xpert shopping鈥 and how the court will investigate if that is the real reason for the desired change.

The court鈥檚 approach to a proposal to change an expert It is in the court鈥檚 discretion whether or not to allow a party to put forward expert opinion evidence at trial. Whether to allow a party鈥檚 expert witness to be changed in the course of a case is a case management decision also involving the exercise of a discretion. Like all such matters, the court must consider all the relevant factors and the application of the overriding objective in CPR...

HM Treasury, in partnership with the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon Rachel Reeves MP, has unveiled a landmark ten-year Infrastructure Strategy as part of the Plan for Change. This detailed strategy commits at least 拢725bn to infrastructure investment through to 2035, with the dual aim of establishing the UK as a clean energy superpower and providing long-term investment certainty. It outlines aggressive 2030 clean power targets of 43鈥50 gigawatts (GW) offshore wind, 27鈥29 GW onshore wind, and 45鈥47 GW solar capacity, while allocating 拢9.4bn for carbon capture, usage and storage projects and 拢500m for hydrogen transport infrastructure. In addition, the strategy sets aside 拢14.2bn for the development of Sizewell C and 拢2.5bn for small modular reactor programmes, with Great British Energy set to invest 拢8.3bn in clean power projects, including 拢300m for offshore wind supply chains.
