Semicolon use

Is the following correct? It's been suggested that it is but I'm unsure about why the semicolon is after the "and".

The seminar will cover: delay; interim orders and; evidence at impairment stage.

Thanks in advance.

No, the whole thing is AWFUL! It should read: The seminar will cover delays, interim orders, and evidence at the impairment stage.

Yes, to write this, delete 'and'.

But more simply, just say
