DISPUTE RESOLUTION SERVICES /
With thousands of disputes occurring around the world, it’s inevitable that some might cause arguments. We provide a specialist dispute avoidance, management and resolution service, led by our senior 'FPD Panels' Members. The Dispute Resolution Service is a fast, efficient way to resolve disputes out of Court!
APPOINTING A DISPUTE RESOLVER
DRM (Dispute Resolution Mechanisms) are a way for businesses and individuals to resolve disputes without going to court. It's quick, private, usually cheaper than conventional litigation in the courts. Prime Dispute can arrange the appointment/nomination, from its Panels, of dispute resolver (Arbitrators, Mediators, Adjudicator, etc) to deal with a dispute. We can arrange other types of appointments such as mediators, experts, adjudicators, etc*.
HOW TO APPLY & COST
Read the ‘Schedule of Fees' guidance note and complete the online 'Application Forms'. Include a copy of the agreement which contains the Prime Dispute 'Model Clauses' giving Prime Dispute the power to appoint. If the dispute does not have a 'Model clause', the parties can jointly agree to submit it to dispute resolution, with Prime Dispute named as the appointing/nominating authority.
AFTER APPLYING
We aim to identify and appoint a dispute resolver once we receive your completed application and the fee. Once the appointment has been made, we’ll send it to the dispute resolver and copies will be sent to the parties and/or their advisers. If you do not require ‘Case Administration’ the parties or their advisers should contact the dispute resolver who will manage the dispute.

Parties are expected to act reasonably in exchanging information about the claim, defences and counter-claim including relevant documents in support of their case and generally work towards avoiding the necessity for the start of proceedings. It is also imperative to consider the suitability of mediation or another form or dispute resolution to resolve the matter.
Additional powers are available to the courts if it is considered that due to the behaviour of the defaulting party proceedings have been started that might otherwise not needed to be commenced. Further, those could also be used if the court believes non-compliance has led to costs being incurred that might otherwise not have been incurred.
