Note
It’s very important to take proper steps when disputes arise. In disputes and conflicts, especially where there are significant risks or your organisation is being taken to court, you may need the assistance of a lawyer who can help.
- how you will find out that legal action is being taken against your organisation
- what you should do about the legal action
- the costs of going to court, and
- court forms and notices that your organisation might receive

You can use mediation to try and resolve a dispute. This may be a more cost effective approach. For more information go to our resources on mediation.
