Common Questions About Legal Disputes

These are just some frequently asking questions often asked to our Resolution Law team

What process does dispute resolution follow?

In the UK, dispute resolution can take various forms depending on the nature of the dispute and the preferences of the parties involved. Some common methods of dispute resolution in the UK include:

Negotiation: This involves the parties discussing the issue and trying to reach a mutually acceptable solution without involving any third parties.

Mediation: This is a process in which a neutral third party (a mediator) helps the parties to reach an agreement. The mediator does not have the power to make a decision, but rather facilitates communication and helps the parties to find common ground.

Arbitration: This is a process in which a neutral third party (an arbitrator) is appointed to hear the dispute and make a decision. The decision of the arbitrator is legally binding on the parties.

Litigation: This is a formal legal process in which the dispute is resolved by a court. It is often seen as a last resort, as it can be time-consuming, costly and stressful.

I want to avoid going to court. Is there another way to resolve my dispute?

Absolutely. Many disputes can be resolved through Alternative Dispute Resolution, such as mediation or negotiation. These approaches are often faster, more cost-effective and less stressful than formal litigation. We help clients reach agreements through ADR, especially in commercial, property, and partnership matters. It’s about finding common ground with the right legal support behind you.

I hired a contractor to renovate my shop. They walked off the job halfway through and won’t respond. What can I do?

If a contractor has breached their agreement, you may be able to claim for damages or losses caused by the incomplete work. We’ll first review the contract terms, assess any evidence such as emails or invoices, and advise on how to resolve matters, whether that’s through negotiation, a formal letter of claim, or court action if needed. Often, a well-structured legal approach brings people back to the table before it gets that far.

I’m a landlord and my tenant has stopped paying rent and won’t respond to messages. What are my options?

You still have legal responsibilities even if a tenant breaches their agreement. Depending on the situation, we may be able to help you recover unpaid rent and begin possession proceedings. We’ll guide you through the right process, including any required notices, to make sure you’re acting lawfully and fairly while protecting your property.

I’m a director in a small business and my co-director is locking me out of decisions. Can I do anything legally?

If you’re being excluded from key decisions or denied access to company information, that may amount to unfair prejudice under company law. We’ll review the company’s articles, any shareholder agreements, and your rights as a director. From there, we can explore solutions, from negotiated outcomes to court applications if the dispute can’t be resolved internally.

I relied on advice from my accountant, but it turned out to be wrong and caused financial loss. Can I claim for this?

You may be able to bring a professional negligence claim if the advice fell below an acceptable standard and directly caused you loss. These claims often involve reviewing documents, advice given, and what a reasonable professional would have done in similar circumstances. We can assess whether you have a viable claim and help you pursue compensation if appropriate.
