Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

To resolve a dispute, a rent review is referred to an arbitrator or independent expert, depending on the method in the lease. Arbitration is a means of resolving disputes without going to court. Determination by independent expert involves different rules.

Although ‘going to arbitration’ is often seen as a last resort, referral can be a ploy in negotiation. Even so, it is not a step to be taken lightly. There is no point in referral for the sake of it. It is not about leaving it to the arbitrator or independent expert to decide. The case must be presented in a way that makes sense technically.

Understanding the legal and practical differences between arbitration and independent expert, how to influence procedure and conduct a case, can make a huge difference to the outcome.

Even if you are using another adviser or negotiating yourself, you can instruct me to handle dispute resolution proceedings and act for you.
