Arbitration

As a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators I have acted as Arbitrator on a number of matters, including:

• Very complex valuation and defects dispute on a large private dwelling, directions to plead in Scott Schedule format, backed up by escorted site inspection rendered the case manageable with a minimum of oral evidence, using the procedural powers of the Arbitration Act, 1996.
• Dispute between Bulgarian hotel operator, Panamanian business partner and UK package holiday company.
• Final account dispute involving contested valuation and defects counterclaim on the conversion of a stately home into a luxury resort hotel, parties requested a non-binding “Conciliation” approach, successfully resolved.
