Expert Determination

Expert Determination is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"). It is a confidential and binding process for settling a technical issue or dispute.

There are no hard and fast rules in Expert Determination. Parties are free to agree whatever processes and rules they wish.

Expert Determination is particularly useful when the parties require a specialist view on a subject matter and are prepared to be bound by the decision of the Expert. It is usual for the decision to be finally binding and can provide a fast and cost effective means of determining technical issues where there are no substantial disputes of fact.

Expert Determination is also beneficial where parties need to retain an on-going relationship which is often soured by the use of litigation or arbitration.
