Modern contract documentation, including
commercial leases often provide for disputes to be referred to Arbitration
if the parties cannot agree upon an issue.
The dispute may be in respect of the condition of the
building or the level of rent to be paid under the terms of a rent review
In England and Wales the Arbitration will be conducted under the provisions
of the Arbitration Act 1996.
As an Arbitration is a quasi judicial process it is
necessary to understand the basis of Arbitration law and practice in a particular
field to ensure the best result.
In recent years we have represented Commercial tenants
in respect of Arbitration disputes throughout Scotland, England and Wales
As we do not act for Landlords we believe that we are free from conflicts
of interest and can best represent the tenants interest.
