Because there are many ways to resolve a dispute, I invite you to provide feedback on ways you think these disputes could be resolved short of going to court, and which can be shared in a future issue.  For example, in scenario 1, do you think that it made sense for the commercial unit to bear the burden of (some) of the cost of a survey?


 In scenario 2, do you think that it was appropriate to waive late charges and negotiate an interest rate that was reasonable? What other suggestions would you have for the Board short of going to court?
