Expansion of dispute resolution Board of Arbitration by introducing new Fast Track procedures

In the construction industry, disputes are regularly referred to the Board of Arbitration for Construction Disputes (COA). Usually because it is required pursuant to the applicable general conditions (AVA, UAV, UAV-C), although sometimes parties choose this option based on the Board's expertise. A new reason was recently added to submit construction disputes to the Board - even if involving COA is not contractually required. As of October 2022, two new Fast Track procedures have been added to the range of procedures already available at COA. Construction law attorney Rosa Ruimschotel explains this new procedure.
