The article discusses the issue of high volumes of low-value claims in construction arbitration and explores various options for addressing this issue. These low-value claims, such as minor variations, discrete disruption events, and defects, may not have significant monetary consequences individually but can accumulate to a significant value when considered together across a project. The article presents several tools and options, such as non-statistical and statistical sampling, Scott Schedule, computer modeling, Pareto principle, standing adjudication, expert determination, and value thresholds for examination of witnesses/experts. Each option is described along with its advantages and disadvantages. The article emphasizes the importance of tailoring solutions to the specific circumstances of each project and maintaining fairness and due process. [Extracted from the article]
