In recent years the expense and delay of pursuing a lawsuit in court have pushed many to opt for binding arbitration. Under binding arbitration a dispute is removed from the court system and reviewed by a neutral and independent arbitrator. Arbitration provides a cheaper and faster alternative to the court system.

There are generally two kinds of arbitration agreements: pre-dispute and post-dispute. Pre-dispute arbitration agreements set forth the understanding that any dispute arising from a particular transaction or relationship shall be heard before an arbitrator. The specific dispute in this context is generally hypothetical. In post-dispute arbitration agreements, the dispute has already occurred and the parties specifically agree to remove the dispute from the court system and bring it before a neutral arbitrator. This Post-Dispute Arbitration Agreement is for use in this type of situation.

Among others, this Post-Dispute Arbitration Agreement contains the following provisions:
  • Arbitration: The parties knowingly and willingly agree to arbitration to settle the dispute;
  • Arbitrator: Identifies the independent arbitrator;
  • Waiver of Claims: The parties agree that the dispute will be resolved solely through arbitration.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Post-Dispute Arbitration Agreement is a legal document that allows parties who have already experienced a dispute to agree to resolve their issues through arbitration rather than litigation. It outlines the terms and conditions under which the arbitration will take place.

Binding arbitration involves a neutral arbitrator who reviews the evidence and arguments presented by both parties and makes a decision that is legally binding. This means that the parties must adhere to the arbitrator's ruling, similar to a court judgment.

Using a Post-Dispute Arbitration Agreement can save time and money compared to traditional court proceedings. It also allows for more privacy and confidentiality, as arbitration hearings are typically not open to the public.

Yes, parties can negotiate and modify the terms of the Post-Dispute Arbitration Agreement before signing. However, once signed, the terms become binding and enforceable.

Yes, this Post-Dispute Arbitration Agreement is designed to comply with the relevant laws and regulations of Australia, ensuring that it is legally enforceable within the jurisdiction.

If one party refuses to participate in the arbitration process as outlined in the agreement, the other party may seek enforcement of the arbitration clause through the courts, compelling the reluctant party to comply.

While arbitration is generally faster and less expensive than litigation, there are limitations. For instance, certain types of disputes, such as those involving criminal matters or family law, may not be suitable for arbitration.

The selection of the arbitrator is typically outlined in the agreement. Parties may agree on a specific arbitrator or follow a process for selecting one from a list of qualified individuals.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for disputes that involve criminal charges or allegations. Criminal matters require the involvement of the court system and cannot be resolved through arbitration.
  • – If the parties have not yet experienced a dispute, this agreement is unsuitable. It is specifically designed for situations where a disagreement has already occurred and both parties wish to resolve it through arbitration.
  • – In cases where one party is unwilling to participate in arbitration, this agreement may not be effective. Both parties must agree to the arbitration process for it to be valid and enforceable.
  • – This form should not be used for disputes that require urgent legal intervention, such as restraining orders or emergency relief. These situations necessitate immediate court action rather than arbitration.
  • – If the dispute involves issues that are not legally arbitrable, such as certain family law matters or statutory claims, this form would not be appropriate.
