Solicitor for Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Law in Attard

Someone posted what I believe are clearly false and damaging reviews about my business online, based in Malta, and it seems to be part of a deliberate campaign rather than a genuine customer complaint. This is affecting my business. What legal options do I actually have here?

An arbitration process concluded recently in a commercial dispute I was involved in through the Malta Arbitration Centre, and the outcome was not what I expected. I feel the arbitrator misunderstood some key evidence. Can I actually challenge or appeal an arbitration award, or is it truly final?

I’m having a serious ongoing dispute with my landlord in Malta over repairs he refuses to carry out despite them being clearly his responsibility. Someone mentioned arbitration as an option and I’m wondering whether the Malta Arbitration Centre actually handles this type of residential dispute, or whether that’s not really what it’s for.

I’m considering pursuing a commercial dispute in Malta either through arbitration or the ordinary courts, and cost is a significant factor for me given the amount involved isn’t huge. I keep hearing arbitration is faster but I’m not sure if it’s actually cheaper for a relatively modest-value dispute.

I obtained an arbitration award against a company through arbitration proceedings conducted in another country, and that company has assets in Malta that I now want to pursue to actually recover what I’m owed. Can a foreign arbitration award be enforced here, or would I need to essentially start over in the Maltese courts?

I discovered a breach of a commercial contract with a Maltese supplier that actually happened a few years ago, though I only recently became fully aware of the extent of the problem. Is there a deadline after which I would simply be too late to bring a legal claim over it?

I signed a commercial contract with a supplier in Malta that includes a clause saying any dispute must go to arbitration rather than court. Now that we have an actual dispute over a delayed delivery, I’d rather just sue them in the ordinary courts, which feels more familiar to me. Can I ignore the arbitration clause and go straight to court instead?

I’ve heard the term ‘compilation of evidence’ mentioned in relation to a legal matter in Malta and I don’t fully understand what this actually involves or how it fits into the broader court process. Can you explain what happens at this stage?
