DRBF member Michelle Antonio interviewed Optus’ in house counsel Peter Preller on their organisation’s use of Dispute Avoidance Boards (DABs) across their major network construction and service contracts in Australia over the last 10 years. You can’t go past the quotes in the article about why this telecommunications business likes using DABs: ? DABs allow open and without prejudice discussion, resulting in potential issues being identified and being resolved proactively. ? The DAB improves the transparency of the relationship. ? The DAB process allows positive commercial and operational relationships while complex disputes can be managed by the DAB process. ? We are able to resolve disputes relatively quickly and at a low cost (avoiding litigation). ? The flexibility to scale DAB meetings up and down is a great feature of the arrangement – we have even been able to place regular meetings on hold. ? The DAB, being independent, brings a level of objectivity and discipline to the interactions of the parties and helps avoid the contractor making claims without merit. ? The article was first published in?the February 2024 edition of?Brief by?The Law Society of WA?https://lnkd.in/eDhUun3X ?
