Trade Dispute Resolution

Trade Dispute Resolution

Pakistani exporters are advised to exercise caution and perform due diligence when entering into commercial transactions with Australian importers. The best course is dispute avoidance through due diligence and unambiguous trade contracts, including a clause related to dispute resolution.

There is no dedicated organisation in Australia for handling trade disputes. All the commercial disputes are to be processed in the normal Australian legal system. The Consulate can assist the exporters by providing the list of legal experts specialising in commercial disputes.
