Making best use of BIFA adjudication
While the intention of the legislation is that adjudication is only an interim measure there remains limited processes by which disputes may be finally resolved. Typically, if parties are not able to agree a final resolution, then expert determination, arbitration or litigation will be required to determine the parties final rights.
Clearly such a course can be costly, therefore it is in the interest of all parties to obtain as thorough an adjudication as is available in the circumstances. To facilitate this, parties should provide as detailed submissions as they are able.
The parties best chance of resolving their dispute is to have all of their issues addressed in a thorough manner with clear and logical reasoning provided on each and every point in the determination of the issues.
