a tricky
problem
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a simpler and increasingly popular way to resolve problems and disputes where parties cannot reach agreement but wish to avoid Court proceedings.
Such is the increase in popularity of ADR that there are now regulations relating to certain processes.
ADR is private, more cost-effective than Court proceedings, and avoids adverse publicity that could damage reputations.
Most ADR is investigatory, meaning the problem is researched and not simply determined on the basis of conflicting evidence produced by opposing parties.
The process may resolve the entire dispute or certain aspects of the dispute, which can reduce any later Court proceedings and make them less costly. Additionally, the procedure for resolving the dispute, and the timescale for the procedure, can be fixed by reference to what the parties find convenient.
The range of achievable solutions is also wider than Court proceedings. The procedure may be designed to achieve specific types of solution which the parties find acceptable but which may not be possible from Court proceedings.
Going forward, the less confrontational nature of ADR can help to preserve professional or personal relationships once the dispute is resolved.
