Cooperative Forensic Investigations of Building Enclosures in Litigation Cases
Online
Forensic investigations in litigation support projects have special requirements which typically result in little communication and no collaboration between expert consultants representing opposing parties. When the litigating parties agree to allow their expert consultants to cooperate in the investigation of the root causes of the defects and the development of repair and restoration solutions, compromise negotiations and the mediation process can proceed amicably, and repairs can be expedited. This presentation will use a case study to illustrate the advantages of cooperative building enclosure investigations and compromise negotiations regarding repairs in a litigation project.
