Frequently asked questions
When should a dispute go to arbitration rather than court?
The answer depends on the contract, parties, relief required, urgency, confidentiality and enforceability considerations. An arbitration clause may require arbitration, while some matters must proceed before a court or tribunal.
Is a legal notice required before filing proceedings?
A notice is not required in every matter, but it may be contractually, statutorily or strategically important. The applicable agreement and law should be reviewed before proceedings begin.
How long can litigation or arbitration take?
Timelines vary with the forum, complexity, evidence, interim applications, conduct of the parties and availability of the court, tribunal or arbitral panel. A realistic estimate requires review of the specific matter.
