MICDM · PURPOSE & DIRECTION
Vision
To be the reference institution in Mauritius and the wider Indian Ocean and African region for construction law, dispute resolution and the responsible application and ethical use of artificial intelligence in professional practice.
To be a centre where practitioners are trained to prevent and manage disputes with rigour, and where every arbitration, mediation or adjudication administered under our umbrella is recognised for its independence, competence and procedural integrity.
Mission
Mascarenhas International Centre for Disputes Managemnent Limited exists to raise the standard of practice in construction and dispute resolution, and to provide the institutional infrastructure that makes that practice trustworthy. We do this through two complementary functions:
Delivers practical, industry-relevant education in construction law, arbitration, mediation, adjudication and artificial intelligence by equipping legal practitioners, engineers, quantity surveyors architects, project managers and construction professionals with skills they can apply on live projects and disputes, not just theory.
Administers disputes to institutional standard by appointing arbitrators, accrediting and maintaining a panel of vetted, competent neutrals, and enforcing clear rules of membership, conduct and procedure consistent with a modern arbitral institution.
Each course is built around real clause language, real procedural timelines, and real AI tools — not generic slides.
How AI tools affect document review, disclosure, hearing preparation, and award drafting — with reference to current SIAC, ICC, and CIArb guidance on AI use in proceedings.
Applying AI responsibly to programme analysis, claims documentation, and contract administration under FIDIC — for quantity surveyors, engineers, and site professionals.
Working through notice provisions, extension of time, and condition-precedent traps under FIDIC, read against the Code Civil Mauricien.
Procedure from notice to award — tribunal constitution, interim relief, evidence, and enforcement — with comparative adjudication material.
AI 01 · Assessment Skills
AI capability is assessed across five dimensions, moving from understanding the technology to applying it responsibly and strategically in professional practice.
Understanding of AI concepts, capabilities, and limitations in financial services.
Applying AI tools and workflows to real professional tasks and processes.
Identifying where AI adds value and designing AI-augmented solutions.
AI risk, bias, regulatory compliance, and responsible deployment principles.
Evaluating AI implications for organisational strategy and competitive positioning.
Alongside its training programs, MICDM operates as an Adjudication Appointment Body — nominating and appointing independent, qualified adjudicators for construction and commercial disputes.
Where a contract or statutory adjudication scheme requires a nominating body, the MICDM Academy appoints an adjudicator from its panel — drawing on the same construction law, FIDIC, and dispute resolution expertise behind MICDM's training programs.
Appointments are made promptly and independently, with regard to the subject matter of the dispute and the availability and qualifications of panel members.
Courses are taught by someone who currently practises as a chartered arbitrator and quantity surveyor — not a career trainer reading a licensed curriculum.
Built for a hybrid civil and common law jurisdiction, where the Code Civil Mauricien, FIDIC, and the IAA 2008 all have to be read together.
AI content is updated against live institutional guidance — SIAC, ICC, CIArb — rather than fixed at the point the course was first written.
