Law Society LSNEDS-CASE Scheme
LSNEDS-CASE Scheme | ||
The LSNEDS-CASE Scheme is a neutral evaluation scheme. Neutral Evaluation is a voluntary process and aims to resolve a dispute without going to trial. During evaluation, a neutral third party (the Neutral) will: | ||
Evaluate the case based on the evidence provided | ||
Provide an assessment of the likelihood of success for your case if it goes to Court | ||
The neutral evaluation is non-binding and helps consumers make informed decisions to resolve their disputes more efficiently and fairly. Neutral Evaluation Process | ||
| ||
The main disputed parties will attend the Neutral Evaluation | ||
The Neutral will state his/her opinion of the case | ||
Disputed parties will have 14 days from the date the opinion is provided to decide whether to accept the Neutral’s opinion. They will sign a settlement agreement if the assessment is acceptable. | ||
4. What if parties do not accept the Neutral’s opinion? | ||
The Neutral’s opinion is non-binding. Disputed parties can consider whether to accept the Neutral’s assessment and decide how they wish to pursue the matter. | ||
Benefits of Neutral Evaluation | ||
Provides an objective evaluation to assess the merits of your case. | ||
Settling your dispute through neutral evaluation will generally be faster and less costly than formal legal proceedings as you can potentially save on legal and court hearing fees. | ||
Neutral evaluation can help you clarify or narrow down the scope of your dispute. It will also give you a better estimate of your chances of success at trial. | ||
Professional Panel of Neutrals | ||
