ADR can be a somewhat formal process of mediation in which the parties meet, jointly and separately, with a mediator, who tries to help them reach a mutually agreeable resolution to their dispute without resorting to litigation. The mediator behaves as a go-between. He or she presents proposed solutions and counter-offers to the parties. None of the mediator’s suggestions are legally binding. The mediator does not make the decisions for the parties.

Arbitration can be “binding” or “non-binding.” Binding arbitration means the parties present their case to an arbitrator chosen by the parties and have that arbitrator decide who wins. If there is a binding arbitration clause in a contract, the matter must proceed to arbitration and there is no trial.

Non-binding arbitration means the parties can request a trial if they don’t accept the arbitrator’s decision. Some courts will impose costs and fines if the court decision is not more favorable than that awarded in arbitration. Non-binding arbitration is progressively infrequent.

Nowadays people are dependent on the free movement of trade and investment. Arbitration is one of the most common ways of settling a dispute between parties without having to recourse to the time consuming, costly and complicated procedure of litigation. Arbitrations generally are intended to streamline the process and decrease the costs when compared to resolving a dispute in court.  It is an excellent tool to facilitate international trade and investment as it allows a speedy and cost-friendly way to settle cross- border disputes.

Arbitration is the most formal alternative to litigation which has often been seen as a cheaper way to resolve disputes, on average, than litigating in court with some exceptions; arbitrations tend to follow more specific and defined timelines toward resolving. A dispute and arbitrators do not always face crowded work and caseloads, resulting in quicker final decisions.

However, often arbitrators are selected by agreement of both parties, by a third party arbitration service, or via an outlined method where input is allowed from both parties. This means that no single party controls the process

Mediation is more formal but still leaves control of the outcome to the parties. The objective of mediation is for an impartial third party to assist disputants come to a consensus on their own. An impartial mediator helps the parties try to reach a mutually acceptable resolution to their dispute. Mediation can be effective at allowing parties to vent their feelings and fully explore their complaints.

Not every lawyer will bring the right mindset to mediation. You should make sure to choose a lawyer who believes in the process and understands the importance of compromise. Ideally, the lawyer should have worked with clients in mediation before. CLP’S arbitration lawyers are always impartial for all types of mediation cases to give expert advice and decision to our clients. Doing business in today’s complex economy requires careful financial planning and sound business practices, but it also requires awareness of legal hazards and effective plans for protection against them. For example mediation in divorce, where both parties will have the opportunity to discuss everything to attempt to resolve the arguments.In some of these situations, the spouses may reconcile if all conflict resolves amicably and both parties feel resuming the marriage is best.

• Both the parties are desirous of avoiding trial
• You believe an honest and fruitful discussion with the other party
• None of the parties have solid and well-supported positions in the dispute
• You want to collaborate and cooperate.

Arbitration can be the more suitable form of ADR  if:

• Both the parties want to avoid the costs and expenses related with trial

Arbitration rewards are mostly concluding when the arbitrator judges the claim and applies a verdict to the proceedings for all parties involved in the circumstances. Arbitration awards are usually final once the arbitrator judges the claim and applies a decision to the proceedings for all parties involved in the situation. There are times when an appeal is possible, and it is important to know when the person awarded damages may seek a greater amount in compensation from his or her incident. When the parties involved determine that an appeal’s process should occur even in a binding decision, this is available after the judgment occurs. However, most arbitration does not permit any appeal because the binding methods do not have any changes in the outcome. It is important to know whether the victim will need an appeal for any reason before submitting to the proposed process in arbitration.

When an appeal is necessary due to an unreasonable outcome, the decision to appeal this revolves around the arbitrator. Whatever he or she determined as an award or outcome will face assessment on the merits of the decision. If the solution was fair or valid is important in these situations. Any reversal of an arbitrator’s judgment is rare and only occurs when the court involved believes that the award was not fair in any manner.

When build up the arbitration rules and forms that the two parties will pursue, it might wind up important to argue in support of or against an appeal process.
