Rapid Dispute Solutions for COVID-19 Problems
Objective: to provide quick, efficient, inexpensive, final and private online dispute resolution services to resolve almost any problem, dispute or conflict created by COVID-19.
​
Each process is tailored to the requirements of the dispute for maximum efficiency. They’re all discussed, agreed and documented before work commences.
Rapid Processes (costs exclude GST)
​
1. Decisional Process - for almost any dispute (Cost: $1,000 - $2,500)
A Determiner is engaged to produce a contractually binding, legally-enforceable decision - after hearing each Party’s case and reviewing supporting evidence. Most of the process is document-based, with online meetings, as/if required.
​
Parties cannot bail out unilaterally, once the process starts. A contractually enforceable outcome is guaranteed. Legal representatives, experts and support people can be used.
​
Determinations are scope, scale and time-limited, at the Determiner’s discretion.
​
Process time: limit of 4 weeks (maximum), from commencement to conclusion.
2. Facilitative Process - for almost any dispute (Cost: $250 - $1,000)
​
The dispute resolver is engaged as a Facilitator, to guide negotiations and help parties achieve agreed solutions.
​
Agreements are reached by consent between the Parties, or not.
​
Participation in the process (initial and ongoing) is entirely voluntary. Anyone can bail out at any time.
​
Process time: limit of 2 weeks (maximum), from commencement to conclusion.
3. SODR: Hybrid Facilitation/Determination Process - for any dispute (Cost: $500 | $1,000 | $1,500)
1. The dispute resolver commences a robust Facilitation to help parties negotiate their own Agreement.
​
2. If Facilitation doesn’t result in an Agreement, the Facilitator makes a contractually-binding, legally-enforceable Determination.
​
3. If all Parties agree, the Determination can be set aside and the dispute is referred to an Independent Decision Maker, for a contractually-binding, legally-enforceable Decision.
​
Legal representatives, experts and support people can be used.
Once the process commences, Parties cannot bail out unilaterally. There’s a guaranteed final outcome - by Agreement, Determination or Decision.
