What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR is part of the overall process of Dispute Resolution. What is Dispute Resolution? Dispute Resolution includes all processes for resolving disputes and those processes exist in the following hierarchy:
1. Negotiation
2. Mediation
3. Conciliation
4. Arbitration
5. Adjudication
Alternative Dispute Resolution is an umbrella term for a number of different processes that occur as an alternative to the formal dispute resolution process of adjudication. Adjudication is primarily conducted through formal hearings in formal court rooms. ADR can occur whether or not formal court action has actually been commenced.
ADR is primarily comprised of the following steps which occur in an escalating hierarchy of processes. The process, cost, complexity, duration, outcomes and focus all change as the dispute moves up or down the hierarchy of ADR processes:
1. Negotiation
2. Mediation
3. Arbitration
These are the three services that Australian Corporate Arbitrators and Mediators exclusively specialise in as specifically qualified experts. As qualified specialists Australian Corporate Arbitrators and Mediators do not conduct a general legal practice in addition to their ADR services even though the principal legal practitioner has over 30 years’ experience in legal practice and adjudication.
