EXPEDITED DISPUTE TIMETABLE Clause Samples
The Expedited Dispute Timetable clause establishes a shortened and clearly defined schedule for resolving disputes between parties. It typically sets out specific deadlines for each stage of the dispute resolution process, such as the submission of claims, responses, evidence, and the final decision, often compressing these timelines compared to standard procedures. This clause ensures that disputes are resolved more quickly, minimizing delays and reducing the potential for prolonged uncertainty or disruption to ongoing business relationships.
EXPEDITED DISPUTE TIMETABLE. In exceptional circumstances where the use of the times in this Call Off Schedule 11 would be considered unreasonable by the Parties, including (by way of example) where one Party would be materially disadvantaged by a delay in resolving the Dispute, the Parties may agree to use the Expedited Dispute Timetable. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on whether to use of the Expedited Dispute Timetable within five (5) Working Days of the issue of the Dispute Notice, the use of the Expedited Dispute Timetable shall be at the sole discretion of the Customer. If the use of the Expedited Dispute Timetable is determined in accordance with paragraph 7.1 of this Call Off Schedule 11 or is otherwise specified under the provisions of this Call Off Contract, then the following periods of time shall apply in lieu of the time periods specified in the applicable paragraphs of this Call Off Schedule 11: in paragraph 2.8, fourteen (14) Working Days; in paragraph 3.2, ten (10) Working Days; in paragraph 4.2, ten (10) Working Days; in paragraph 5.2, five (5) Working Days; and in paragraph 6.2, ten (10) Working Days. If at any point it becomes clear that an applicable deadline under paragraph 7.2 of this Call Off Schedule 11 cannot be met or has passed, the Parties may (but shall be under no obligation to) agree in writing to extend the relevant deadline. If, pursuant to paragraph 7.2 of this Call Off Schedule 11, the Parties fail to agree within two (2) Working Days after the relevant deadline has passed, the Customer may set a revised deadline provided that it is no less than five (5) Working Days before the end of the period of time specified in the applicable paragraphs under paragraph 7.2 (or no less than two (2) Working Days in the case of Paragraph 5.2 of this Call Off Schedule 11). Any agreed extension under paragraph 7.2 of this Call Off Schedule 11 shall have the effect of delaying the start of the subsequent stages by the period agreed in the extension. If the Customer fails to set such a revised deadline then the use of the Expedited Dispute Timetable shall cease and the normal time periods shall apply from that point onwards.
