It is with much sadness that we announce the death of Roger Dyer. For those that knew Roger, he was for many years an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
He was also a former architect; arbitrator; adjudicator; mediator, studied at the Birmingham School of Architecture.
Some of you may have his book, ‘The Arbitrator as Party to a s.69 Appeal’. Others I am sure knew him well. I read he was a considered and measured advocate, with his architectural background highly recommended for construction litigation and advice.
Please save the date of the 2024 SCA Annual Conference which will be held between Friday 10th – Monday 13th May 2024. More info will be available soon.
We are saddened to announce the death of our friend and colleague Christopher Miers. Following a short illness, Chris passed away on 7th February 2023. Chris was a renowned construction dispute expert, talented Chartered Architect, and trusted Chartered Arbitrator. He was a former Honorary Secretary of the SCA and a valued member of the Society for many years.
