This webinar focuses on why commissioning disputes arise and how technical evidence shapes their resolution.
Commissioning is where design intent meets operational reality. It is also where latent defects, integration issues, and contractual ambiguities are most likely to surface. When systems fail to meet acceptance criteria, or when damage occurs during testing and handover, disagreements over cause, responsibility, and remediation can escalate quickly into formal claims and disputes.

Overview
We will examine how commissioning programmes are structured, where claims most commonly originate, and how technical evidence is gathered and assessed when parties disagree. We will also look at how engineering findings are translated into clear positions that support legal and commercial decision-making.

Learning Objectives:
- How commissioning programmes are typically structured and where claims most often arise between design, installation, and operational readiness
- How acceptance criteria, test protocols, and performance benchmarks are defined and how gaps between contractual expectations and site conditions create dispute triggers
- What project records, test data, and contemporaneous documentation matter most in a commissioning dispute, and how they are validated
- How causation and responsibility are assessed when failures involve overlapping contributions from design, manufacture, installation, third-party interfaces, or environmental factors
- How experts support claims strategy by reconstructing the commissioning sequence, quantifying losses, and informing remedial or reinstatement options
