Calling on his many years of experience in both building and construction, and commercial litigation generally, Mark is a Graded Arbitrator (Grade 2) with the Resolution Institute and a Graded Arbitrator with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. He is also sought to act as expert to decide disputes through expert determination.

 

Mark is also a qualified mediator, having previously been on the panel of mediators maintained by firstly the Queensland Building Tribunal and, after that, the Queensland Commercial and Consumer Tribunal. He is now engaged privately to act as a mediator, both in relation to building and construction disputes, professional negligence disputes and commercial disputes generally.

 

Mark has, as mediator, mediated over 175 commercial disputes and is a Graded Arbitrator, a Nationally Accredited Mediator under the National Mediator Accreditation Scheme, and a LEADR Accredited Mediator.

 

Recently Mark has mediated:

  • an unfair preference action brought by a liquidator in the Federal Court of Australia;
  • an oppression action brought by a minority shareholder in the Supreme Court of Queensland;
  • an action for professional negligence brought in relation to the sale of a business, by substitution of the trustee of a discretionary trust, in the Supreme Court of Queensland by the vendor;
  • a contract of carriage dispute before the Supreme Court of Queensland.

 

He is also a qualified and registered adjudicator under the Queensland Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017; as well as an adjudicator in New South Wales and Victoria under the legislation of those states.

 

Mark has also, in addition to conducting a number of adjudications himself as adjudicator, assisted a subcontractor in pursuing successfully a head contractor for payment through adjudication, by advising upon the content of the adjudication application and preparing the accompanying submissions to the adjudicator, in support of the subcontractor’s claim.

 

Mark has, as an adjudicator, decided numerous disputes, both in Queensland and interstate.

 

While in other states and territories adjudication decisions are not published, in Queensland they are available for public search through the Internet Website of the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Register of Adjudication Decisions. Below are Mark’s decisions that are available for public search in Queensland.
