The term alternative dispute resolution (ADR) means any procedure, agreed to by the parties of a dispute, in which they use the services of a neutral party to assist them in reaching agreement and avoiding litigation.
The most common types of ADR for civil cases are mediation, settlement conferences, neutral evaluation, and arbitration.
In most ADR schemes, a decision will be made based on the paper evidence you and the other party send in. You won't always have to attend a hearing. Some ADR schemes are legally binding. This means that you won't be able to take your case to court if you accept the decision from ADR but later change your mind.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) refers to the different ways people can resolve disputes without a trial. Common ADR processes include mediation, arbitration, and neutral evaluation. These processes are generally confidential, less formal, and less stressful than traditional court proceedings.
ADR is usually less formal, less expensive, and less time-consuming than a trial and may also give the parties more control over when and how their dispute is resolved. The court offers a variety of ADR options including Mediation, Arbitration and Settlement Conferences, some of which are mandated by the court.
