On 14 October more than 40 participants were privileged to hear a detailed analysis and discussion of the issues relating to conflicts of interest and experts engaged in construction disputes following the landmark decision of the English Court of Appeal in Secretariat v A Company [2021] ECWA Civ 6. Ms Anneliese Day QC of Fountain Court Chambers reviewed the decision at first instance and on appeal, and analysed the reasoning of the different members of the court. Amit Garg of Secretariat Singapore and John Battersby of BK Asia Pacific referred to the practical consequences of the decision from the perspective of construction experts. A lively Q and A session was moderated by the Chair, Wayne Martin AC QC of 39 Essex Chambers. It seems likely that there will be more developments to come in this important area.
