Sheet revised November 2001
Cliff Dilloway has pursued a business career at senior levels with strong technical leanings. A wide variety of experience including shipping, stock exchange, clothing and glass manufacture led to him qualifying as a Chartered Management Accountant. Turning to computers he qualified as a Chartered Engineer in the field of Information Systems Engineering when that degree became available. On the way he became an FCIArb and is a CEDR Accredited Mediator as well as on the Register of Mediators of The Academy of Experts. Some of his work has been in the United States, New Zealand, Egypt and Europe. In 1988 he visited China, Hong Kong and Japan as a member of a Computer Law Delegation.
He has also been appointed to determine matters as an expert on a number of occasions. Disputes in which he has been involved have related to copyright, contract and information systems. Evidence has also been given on behalf of both the Prosecution and the Defence in criminal matters. Twenty or more times he has been in the witness box as an Expert Witness without ever feeling uncomfortable or stressed.
What Cliff Dilloway does do is to handle disputes in an appropriate way to suit the wishes of the parties. He is not a lawyer or a judge and knows not to try to be. Typically he will produce an "Arbitrator's Report to the parties" that sets out evidence he has identified so that it may be challenged and controverted but which contains no conclusions. Issues are thus identified and a settlement may evolve. Many times he has embodied such cost and time saving procedures in consent directions orders.
As an arbitrator Cliff Dilloway is Section 33 competent. This is the section
of the Arbitration Act 1996 that puts a proactive role on arbitrators to "adopt
procedures suitable to the circumstances of the particular case, avoiding
unnecessary delay or expense, so as to provide a fair means for the resolution
of the matters falling to be determined". While other arbitrators appear to be
waiting to see what happens under the Arbitration Act 1996 Cliff Dilloway has
prepared materials that appear on this website as a starting point. Nevertheless
he will learn from experience as parties take advantage of their new freedoms
under the Act.
