2. State of the art:
1. Jurisdiction culture = legacy system
2. Technology vs legal approach =
neutrality vs endorsement?
3. Organizational culture = direct & indirect
costs of change (resistence)
4. Possible (positive) Side effects
5. Art. 141 Cod. Consumo
(DLgs 206/2005)
Extrajudicial solution of controversies
1. Between consumer and business,
parties can start extrajudicial
procedures for dispute resolution also
with telematic tools.
6. EU Directive 2008/52/CE
Access to justice
Crossborder civil and commercial cases
Enforceable decisions in Member States (reg.
2201/2003)
Modern technologies (cons. 9: but “does not
obstacle”)
Minimun standards ( EC 2001/310/CE )
Jurisdiction as last resort and fundamental rights
warranty (Nizza Charter)
7. ODR: how to favor it ?
Two possible approaches
Technology oriented
bottom-up
neutral
Law oriented
Top-down
Official endorsement
8. Organizational culture:
observation & action
Bottom up drifting or Top-down strategy ?
change
A little bit of both
But considering
Direct & indirect
Costs of..
involved: the “mediation” culture can do a lot
also in this process
9. Will ODR and Jurisdiction get
along well? (1)
- some numbers
Conciliations procedures in the areas of
TCL, services, commerce, tourism, finance
and credit.
2005 = 15.916
2006 = 26.896
2007 = 50.808

10. Will ODR and Jurisdiction get
along well? (2)
Some evaluation
about possible side-effects:
High specialization, quasi- real-time
solution and trustmarks can make a
positive (“cooperative”) competition to the
traditional legal system, which could
concentrate on other cases
11. Perspective: ODR for all ?
Technology is there
Virtually applicable to any case of
controversies
Should it work for all fields or just some
selected specialized ones?
Open issue for future developments and
evaluations.
