Grant Jones provides an overview of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques for chartered accountants, focusing on arbitration, mediation, and expert determination. He summarizes HM Revenue and Customs' new mediation scheme for small businesses, which aims to resolve tax disputes in a cost-effective manner. However, some argue the scheme lacks independence as the mediators are HMRC staff. The document also outlines the mediation process, the roles of the mediator, and techniques mediators use to facilitate agreement between disputing parties.
In response to rising court costs, delays and congestion, the need to facilitate access to justice and to provide more 'effective' forms of dispute resolution, the phenomenon known as ADR was born.
This presentation provides an overview of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and different ADR mechanisms used all over the world.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a Mechanism of Peace in AfricaChantal Abam
conflict resolution has always been an issue of the Criminal Justice System at the international and national levels, but globalization thinking has brought about new mechanism for resolving conflicts.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provides methods for settling disputes outside of litigation. In Second Life, ADR can help resolve commerce and business disputes in a neutral way. The eJustice Centre was created to offer ADR services through mediation and arbitration. Trained professionals conduct mediation to help parties find compromise. If mediation fails, arbitration judges make a binding decision. Their goal is to establish trust and neutrality in resolving conflicts for Second Life residents.
The document discusses various alternative dispute resolution (ADR) tools for resolving conflicts without relying on third parties like judges. It describes common ADR tools like mediation, mini-trials, summary jury trials, and arbitration. These tools typically involve a third party to help facilitate negotiations between disputing parties. The document advises readers to identify their goals and obstacles to select the right ADR tool, noting that different tools have varying costs, speeds, abilities to preserve relationships, and other factors. It emphasizes solving problems through interest-based negotiation and effective communication to avoid needing third parties to decide outcomes.
1. Mediation provides parties with control over the outcome of their dispute, allowing them to decide their own futures, unlike litigation where a third party decides.
2. Mediation costs significantly less than litigation, which can involve five or six figure legal fees and lengthy delays before a final decision is reached.
3. Through a skilled neutral mediator, parties have the opportunity to fully explain their positions and explore alternatives for mutual benefit, unlike the constraints of litigation.

Piddington CPD - Mediation - 9 November 2016 FinalAaron McDonald
This document summarizes key points from a mediation masterclass discussing when to mediate and how to prepare for mediation.
The first point made is that mediating early in a case has advantages, as even if a case doesn't settle at the first mediation, it allows for an assessment of further steps needed to improve the chances of settlement later. Subsequent sections discuss ensuring the right people attend mediation, such as those with authority to settle; providing documents to the mediator in advance; discussing the case merits and costs with the client in advance; and considering alternatives to settlement like BATNA and WATNA. Finally, the document emphasizes that preparing for mediation is as important as preparing for trial.

This document summarizes the views of GE on the need for early resolution in international arbitration based on their experiences. The key points are:
1. Businesses prioritize efficiency, speed, and certainty in dispute resolution but often find international arbitration takes too long, costing unnecessary time and money.
2. While international arbitration has advantages over litigation, its focus on due process delays resolution, frustrating businesses who just want to assess exposure and move on.
3. GE provides examples where arbitration took years with no early decisions on key issues, forcing frustrated parties to expensive settlements just to achieve closure, rather than fair resolution.
4. An early resolution procedure could help address this gap if arbitrators ensured its dilig
Mediation is an emerging dispute resolution method in Brazil, currently used primarily for family law cases between individuals. There is no statute governing mediation. Infrastructure and experienced mediators are limited, though some organizations like the Center for Arbitration and Mediation provide mediation services. Courts may refer parties to conciliation divisions after a complaint is filed to attempt settlement before litigation proceeds, but settlement rates are low. Overall mediation culture is still developing in Brazil.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) describes ways for parties to settle civil disputes without formal court hearings, using arbitration, mediation, or conciliation with an independent third party. Common types of ADR include arbitration, where a specialist decides the dispute, and mediation, where an independent mediator helps facilitate settlement discussions between the parties. The Civil Procedure Rules encourage parties to attempt ADR before full litigation and courts can impose costs penalties if parties unreasonably refuse ADR offers.
