Checklist
- Conciliation is essential before arbitration or court. A genuine dispute certificate may issue if conciliation does not resolve the dispute.
- Arbitration can be used where the injury is on or after 1 September 2022, there is a genuine dispute certificate, and the dispute is about weekly payments, medical and like expenses, superannuation contributions, or interest. The arbitration officer's determination is a final decision that those involved must follow.
- The arbitration page does not describe that determination as an appeal limited to an error of law. A court proceeding is a different path. The pages do not set out the grounds on which a court will intervene.
- A lawyer needs permission to attend the arbitration hearing. The lawyer still writes any document that is filed in a court.
