General business dispute or claim
Commercial transactions occur every second of the day, most without any problem arising. But what happens when a transaction does not result in the intended outcome?
Does your business have rights that it can enforce against the other parties to the deal? Business disputes can be complex and every case will depend on the circumstances of the commercial dealing.Types of disputes that may arise
In some instances, parties may have contravened legislation established by the Commonwealth and State Parliaments to protect businesses and consumers from anti-competitive and misleading and deceptive conduct in commercial transactions, such as the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth).In other instances your business may be entitled to enforce common law rights,such as in the case of fraudulent conduct, misrepresentation, breach of contract or commercial loss from negligence.
In all instances it is important that you consult a dispute resolution expert to ensure that all of your business’ rights are identified and an appropriate, cost-effective outcome is achieved.
Time limits apply to civil proceedings so if your business has been party to a commercial dealing gone wrong, you should seek legal advice at an early stage.
