Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), sometimes referred to as external dispute resolution in countries like Australia, encompasses various processes and techniques designed to help disputing parties reach an agreement without resorting to litigation. ADR serves as an effective alternative to formal court hearings, providing a collective term for methods that facilitate dispute resolution, with or without third-party assistance. Essentially, ADR encompasses all non-judicial methods for resolving disputes.
There are several types of ADR, including Conciliation, Arbitration, and Mediation, each suitable for different circumstances. The choice of ADR method depends on the specifics of the dispute. For instance, for matters involving smaller amounts that can be resolved straightforwardly, conciliation may be the preferred process. The primary ADR methods for consumer disputes are conciliation, arbitration, and mediation, often provided by trade associations. To utilize these schemes, clients should inquire if the suppliers are members of a trade association and, if so, contact the association to determine the availability of conciliation or arbitration services.
