Dispute Resolution Process

At United Living we would always seek to resolve disputes with the relevant supply chain member by discussion and negotiation. With regard to a Supplier, this would usually be done by involving members of our finance, procurement and / or commercial teams and may also be escalated to members of management. Any subcontractor disputes should typically be raised with the site manager and commercial teams in the first instance and then raised up the management chain if required. In the unlikely event that the dispute cannot be resolved in accordance with normal procedures / negotiations, it may be necessary to have to refer the matter to mediation / adjudication / expert determination, litigation or arbitration.
