Alternative Dispute Resolution:
Mediation & Arbitration
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to process and techniques of resolving disputes outside of formal litigation. The most common types of ADR are mediation and arbitration.
Mediation:
Mediation is a non-binding form of dispute resolution that works well for minor disputes. The mediator engages in shuttle diplomacy to formulate a solution that is acceptable to both sides. It has one major disadvantage: if the mediator fails to find a common ground, the dispute moves back to the litigation track. As a result, it works well for minor disputes. It does not work as well with intractable disputes or unreasonable parties.
Arbitration:
Arbitration is a binding form of dispute resolution. It permits parties to submit their dispute to an independent third party who functions much like a judge. The arbitrator listens to the facts and then renders a judgment. It has one drawback; the arbitration is conducted much like a trial, and is not as conducive to reaching a creative or mutually beneficial compromise to a business dispute.
