Retention of documents

It is our practice to give you copies of any documents lodged and to copy you into emails sent to and received from the authorities.  At the time the case is closed, you will for all practical purposes have a copy of the file we retain.  It is a requirement to retain documentation for a period of 5 years, after which time we will commence the process of destroying the contents of our files.


Resolution of disputes

If a dispute arises out of, or in relation to this agreement, or the breach, termination, validity, or subject matter thereof, or as to any related claim in restitution at law, in equity or pursuant to any statute—the parties agree to discuss the dispute with the aim of reaching an agreement that is acceptable to both sides.  

The agreement will be documented in writing, dated and signed by both the Agent and the Client. If one party requests an opportunity to discuss the dispute, the parties should attempt to reach an agreement within 21 days of that request (or a longer period if agreed between the parties). If we cannot reach an agreement within 21 days, it is agreed that the dispute will be referred to the Australian Commercial Disputes Centre (ACDC) for final settlement by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules of the ACDC; the results of any such mediation shall be binding only upon agreement of each party to be bound. The costs of any mediation proceeding shall be shared equally by the participating parties. If the parties have been unable to resolve their dispute through ACDC, either party may commence Court proceedings but not before the expiry of 28 days from the date of referral to ACDC. Court proceedings are strictly limited in the State of Victoria.
