WHEN TO GET ADVICE

Small timing mistakes can decide the whole case.

Grain disputes are often lost before arbitration starts: a missed notice, a late response, weak sampling evidence, or an extension agreed without protecting the claim.

You should seek advice before:

  • sending or missing a notice
  • rejecting documents or goods
  • agreeing to an extension
  • making a settlement offer
  • starting arbitration
