Arbitration
Arbitration is a structured dispute resolution process where disputing parties agree to be bound by the decision of a neutral third-party called the arbitral tribunal. This method stands as a flexible, confidential, and efficient alternative to litigation, often preferred for commercial disputes for its relative expediency and the expertise brought in by the arbitrator. While it shares many of the formalities of a court trial, it allows for a potentially less adversarial approach, fostering resolutions that respect the nuances of the specific contractual and professional relationships involved. The final award given by the tribunal is legally binding and enforceable, offering parties a definitive resolution to their dispute.
Adjudication
Adjudication serves as a rapid interim dispute resolution process, primarily focusing on building and construction payment disputes in the Northern Territory. Governed by the NT’s Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act, it provides parties with a provisional decision on payment claims, allowing construction projects to progress without significant financial disruption.
Expert Determination
Expert Determination is an alternative dispute resolution process where disputing parties agree to submit their disagreement to an independent expert. This expert examines the facts, potentially alongside contractual or legal provisions, and delivers a decision. It’s particularly beneficial for technical or specialized disputes where a deep understanding of the subject matter is vital.
Expert Witness
An expert witness service plays a pivotal role in legal proceedings, providing impartial and neutral opinions grounded in deep expertise and experience in a particular field, such as the construction and development industry. Leveraging a deep understanding of intricate subject matters, an expert witness aids the court or arbitration panel in reaching a fair and informed verdict. This role demands a high degree of professionalism and an unswerving commitment to objective truth, abstaining from any form of advocacy to maintain the sanctity of the justice system. Engaging an expert witness ensures a sound foundation for dispute resolutions, facilitating a process rooted in fairness, transparency, and utmost integrity.
Quantity Surveying
Quantity Surveying stands as a dedicated profession within the construction industry, centrally focused on managing construction costs and contracts efficiently. Professionals in this field, commonly known as Quantity Surveyors or QS, meticulously supervise every financial aspect of building and construction projects from inception to completion. Their core responsibility is to ensure the seamless progression of projects while adhering to the predefined budget, aligning financial strategies with practical execution to bring visions to reality within fiscal boundaries.
