Kendall on Expert Determination

Now in its 5th edition, Expert Determination looks at the process of submitting differences or disputes to a third party for a binding decision, where the third party decision-maker has not been appointed by the parties as an arbitrator. Expert Determination remains the only text exclusively written on the subject and has been referred to and endorsed in court judgments. The book discusses the procedure followed in an expert determination, and the status and enforceability of the decision which is reached. The book also covers international use, explaining the pitfalls with regard to cross-jurisdictional issues and enforcement

Whether you are a party to a commercial contract, a barrister, a solicitor or a professional acting as an expert, this title will ensure that you gain a clear and practical working knowledge of expert determination.
The 5th edition considers cases decided by the courts since the last edition was published in 2008, which includes:
