Merit Review Clause Samples

The Merit Review clause establishes a process for evaluating the validity or merit of a claim, dispute, or request under a contract. Typically, it requires that an independent or designated reviewer assesses the facts and arguments presented by the parties before any formal dispute resolution steps, such as arbitration or litigation, are taken. This clause helps ensure that only substantiated or credible issues proceed further, thereby filtering out frivolous or unsupported claims and promoting efficient resolution of genuine disputes.
