Expert Determiner: an explanation.

Expert Determination is a private process involving an independent technical expert (the expert determiner). The expert determiner makes a binding decision on technical, rather than legal issues. The expert determiner has the power to ask question of the parties, before rendering a decision.

The decision is binding, unless it is agreed by the parties at the outset that the determination will not be binding.

Expert determination is particularly suited to valuation issues, or disputes of a purely technical nature.
