It can take the form of an arbitration, hearing, investigation, or a combination of processes.
Arbitration is a private judicial hearing, with an outcome that binds the parties, and puts an end to the dispute between them. The parties choose their arbitrator and the matter is heard privately at a time and place that is agreed between the parties. The process is conducted in terms of a carefully drafted agreement on the Rules for Arbitration. Arbitration is usually final and binding on the parties and only subject to review. However, parties may agree to non-binding arbitration where the award is an advisory award. Parties may also agree upfront on a process to appeal an arbitrators finding or award.
We can also assist by chairing disciplinary processes. We bring a wealth of experience and professional credibility to managing disciplinary processes – these factors assist to build party trust in the enquiry process and the outcome – resulting in substantially reduced rates of escalation to external legal proceedings.
