Frequently asked questions: Commercial property disputes
How long does it typically take to resolve a commercial property dispute?
The timeframe to resolve commercial property disputes can vary significantly depending on complexity, nature of dispute and willingness of parties to negotiate. Disputes resolved through negotiation or mediation typically take several weeks to a few months, whereas complex disputes proceeding to court may require a year or more to reach a final resolution.
What steps should I take if I receive notice of legal action related to my commercial property?
If you receive notice of legal action concerning your commercial property, it is essential to promptly seek specialist legal advice to fully understand your position and options. Early intervention can often enable quicker resolution and avoid unnecessary escalation of the dispute.
Can a commercial tenant withhold rent during a dispute?
Generally, commercial tenants do not have an automatic right to withhold rent during a dispute. Rent withholding can result in lease breaches and further legal complications. It is crucial to obtain specialist legal advice before taking such steps to explore alternative remedies and properly manage the dispute.
What is the difference between arbitration and mediation in commercial property disputes?
Mediation is a voluntarily facilitated negotiation where an impartial mediator assists parties in finding a mutually agreeable solution, without imposing decisions. Arbitration involves an arbitrator examining evidence and making a binding decision. Mediation is quicker, less formal, cost-effective and encourages collaborative solutions, whereas arbitration closely resembles court proceedings, with legally binding outcomes.
