HAVE YOUR DISPUTES OR DISPUTES SETTLED BY OUR SURVEYOR

The settlement of maritime disputes amicably or by arbitration by a maritime surveyor makes it possible to manage your problem as quickly as possible. The aim of amicable dispute resolution is to reduce time and costs by avoiding legal proceedings as much as possible.

The procedures for civil judicial survey in the search for causes and the determination of responsibilities are often long, tedious, expensive and even sometimes uncertain.

The use of an adversarial dispute or arbitration procedure can, in certain cases, be a good solution to simplify and accelerate the settlement of a dispute between parties and / or insurers while considerably reducing the cost and time of proceedings. In the case of an arbitration procedure :

• The parties jointly appoint an surveyor as an "arbitrator" without going through a court, by establishing a technical arbitration protocol
• The appointed expert proceeds contradictorily and in agreement with the parties to his work and produces a preliminary arbitration report, then a report after having collected the observations of the parties represented by their surveyors without necessarily going through lawyers
• The parties agree not to dispute the technical conclusions of the survey's report amicably
