Insurance Arbitration

Insurance Policies, particularly for houses and commercial properties, normally include a provision that disputes between a Policy holder and an Insurance Company be referred to Arbitration. Whereas the nature and extent of the dispute may vary it is important for the Policy holder to ensure that any such dispute is resolved as quickly as possible. Gerard Burns has been involved in the resolution of a considerable number of Arbitration disputes over the last ten years. In certain cases it may be necessary to issue High Court legal proceedings to seek a Court Order formally referring the dispute to Arbitration or to have an Arbitrator appointed where an Insurance Company refuses to engage fully in the Arbitration process.

Gerard has also been involved in the seeking of High Court orders for the enforcement of Arbitrator awards and in appeals to the Supreme Court on points of law. In addition Gerard has considerable experience in the drafting of all relevant Arbitration documentation, representing clients at Preliminary Meetings and Discovery Applications, the furnishing of Submissions and in the Arbitration hearing itself. Permanent Health, Critical illness and Mortgage Payment Protection Policies are further examples of areas in which disputes may arise between a Policy holder and an Insurance Company and which require urgent resolution. Burns Nowlan are experienced in all aspects of the Arbitration process and can have your dispute resolved quickly and efficiently.
