Contract disputes can be resolved through mediation, arbitration, negotiation, or court. It’s best to resolve disputes with the other party, but if not, a lawsuit or arbitration may be necessary. Arbitration is conducted similarly to a court case, and both parties must abide by the arbitrator’s decision. If the case goes to court, the judge or jury will make a decision that both parties must follow.
There are several ways to resolve a contract dispute, depending on the type of dispute and your specific situation. Contract disputes are commonly resolved through mediation, arbitration, or other types of negotiation and conflict resolution procedures. Since a contract is a formal legal document and there are specific rules and laws associated with the performance of contracts, a contract dispute can also be resolved in court.
Whenever possible, it’s best to try to resolve a contractual dispute with the person you contracted with. This is the most convenient option for resolving disputes, as there is no need to involve third parties such as lawyers, mediators and courts. However, when the parties are unable to agree on how to resolve a dispute, it may not always be possible to reach an agreement without the help of a third party.
When a contractual dispute cannot be resolved amicably, a number of different steps can be taken. Contracts, provided they do not violate public policy, will be enforced by a court and penalties will be imposed for failure to meet the terms of a contract, or for “breaching” a contract as it is called in the US legal system. Therefore, sometimes you can resolve a contract dispute by filing a lawsuit against the party you disagree with.
Some contracts limit your right to bring a lawsuit and have the dispute resolved in court. Many contracts contain arbitration clauses, which require disputes to be resolved by an arbitrator. In most cases, these arbitration agreements are enforceable, and if you signed an agreement that contains one, your only avenue to resolve the contract dispute is to submit the dispute to binding arbitration.
If you need to submit to binding arbitration, the terms of the agreement usually state how the arbitration will work. The arbitrator is usually someone who works for a professional arbitration service. The contract must provide for a fair judgment of the matter through arbitration, so this arbitrator must be impartial.
The arbitration will be conducted similar to a court case, where both parties discuss their interpretation of events. The arbitrator will then make a decision and resolve the dispute. Both sides must abide by the arbitrator’s decision. In most cases, the parties involved in the dispute will have to pay the arbitrator for their time.
If the case goes to court instead of arbitration, both parties will have an opportunity to present their positions on the dispute. The judge or jury will hear the case and make a decision as to who is right or wrong. Both parties will be bound by this decision unless they appeal to a higher court.
