Arbitration

Arbitration is a resolution process where an independant 3rd party - the Arbitrator - hears from both parties and then issues an award equivelant to that of a court decision.

Arbitration is private, confidential, flexible, consensual and provides a final and binding decision.

All parties will have an equal opportunity to present their case and the respondent can bring counter claims as well as defend the disputes against them.

An arbitration hearing can be conducted in private with the process and outcome being confidential. During the hearing the parties can present evidence and call witnesses.

The parties can represent themselves or seek the assistance of someone with experience in arbitration to assist them.

The process and the arbitrators powers are defined and governed by the Arbitration Act 1996 .

Arbitration is quicker and more cost effective compared to utilising the court system to resolve your dispute.

Upon contact I will be able to confirm my availabilty to act within 2 days, following which I will issue my terms and conditions and organise a preliminary conference. The conference will be to determine the issues in dispute and agree the timetable for the hearing.

After the hearing is concluded I will issue my award in a timely manner.
