"Legal disputes between construction companies in the Middle East are the longest in the world as the region continues to struggle to deal with the fallout from soured mega projects.
According to the building consultant EC Harris, a backlog of disputes from schemes stalled during the downturn and a lack of qualified arbitrators and expert witnesses in the region meant last year that legal disputes took an average of 14.6 months to settle.
This compared with an average of six months in mainland Europe, 11.9 months in the United States, and 12.9 months in the United Kingdom. Only disputes in Asia came close in length to the Middle East at an average 14.3 months."
