Solicitor for Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Law in Marsa

I believe a supplier in Malta breached our written contract by delivering goods that didn’t match the agreed specification, and I’m considering legal action. I want to understand what kind of evidence actually matters in building a solid case before I commit to pursuing this formally.

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 initiated arbitration proceedings against a business partner in Malta based on a clause in our shareholders’ agreement, but they are simply refusing to engage with the process at all, not appointing an arbitrator, not responding to correspondence, nothing. Does this mean the arbitration just collapses?

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?

I’m in the middle of a dispute with a business partner in Malta over jointly owned property, and I’m genuinely worried he’s about to sell or transfer an asset before the dispute is resolved, which would make it much harder for me to recover what I’m owed. Is there a way to urgently stop this from happening while the underlying case is still ongoing?

I have a relatively straightforward civil claim against someone in Malta and I’m considering handling it myself rather than hiring a lawyer, mainly to save on costs given the amount isn’t huge. Is self-representation actually allowed in Maltese civil courts, or is legal representation generally required?

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’m considering filing a civil claim in Malta over a contractual dispute involving a reasonably significant amount of money, but before committing to litigation, I want a realistic sense of how long court proceedings actually tend to take here, since I’ve heard mixed things.
