DR@BR
DR@BR brings together two forms of non-court dispute resolution - arbitration and PFDR/ENE – in a staged and streamlined process.
The indicative timetable and the fee structure in the flowchart can of course be varied to suit the particular case.
With arbitration DR@BR provides:
- A quick and cost-effective way of getting a final decision in both finance and private children cases
- Choose the issues to be determined – from single issue to all the issues
- Choose the seniority of the tribunal – from junior counsel to senior counsel and silks who sit as Deputy High Court Judges and Recorders
- Guaranteed judicial continuity from start to finish
- Ease of communication with tribunal via email or their clerk
- Fixed and transparent pricing structure
- Flexibility over what documents to complete, what disclosure to give, and which costs rules to apply
- The option of an internal or external private FDR in finance cases and an ENE in private children cases
- A prompt written award/determination setting out full reasons for the decision
- Guaranteed confidentiality of the proceedings
"The clerks are utterly human and professional."
