Expert Determination

The parties to a dispute may conclude that the most effective way to resolve their dispute or at least move forward towards resolution is for an

expert in the relevant field to determine a particular question. In many instances, the parties to a dispute can by a private arrangement confer the power to determine a question or questions on a chosen expert. Sometimes that arrangement is made in advance in a lease or a commercial agreement, and sometimes it is done after a dispute has arisen.

Senior barristers at Hardwicke who are leaders in their chosen specialisms are available for appointment as an expert to determine questions of law or as to the construction of particular terms of a lease or other agreement.
