The Dispute

Field is required!
Field is required!
What is the nature of your claim?
A claim may be for an arbitrator to determine whether an amount of money is payable (a monetary claim), and/or may require an arbitrator to determine the rights and obligations between the parties (a declaratory relief claim).
Field is required!
Field is required!
Please enter the amount in dispute in NZD (inclusive of GST, value added tax, or any other similar tax which might apply).
In calculating the amount in dispute, interest will not be taken into account unless the interest claimed by a Party exceeds the aggregate principal amount, in which case enter the value of the interest claim alone.
