WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION? A range of procedures that serve as alternatives to litigation through the courts for the resolution of disputes generally involving the intercession and assistance of a neutral and impartial third party.’ Brown and Marriott (1999)

FORMS OF ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DISPUTE SETTLEMENT ARBITRATION ADJUDICATION EXPERT DETERMINATION Settlement- all elements in place to end conflict, focuses on money to be paid. Haggling, posturing and distributive bargaining. No focus on root cause of conflict per se DISPUTE RESOLUTION MEDIATION CONCILIATION NEGOTIATION Resolution- letting go, unearthing the cause of the conflict and dealing with it. Many times conflicts stems from anger between disputants, misunderstandings, e.t.c

WHY ADR Litigation has the following undesirable characteristics, inter alia: Judicial systems are often congested as such resolution of disputes in court is delayed Inflexible – bound by formal rules of procedure and evidence No “expert judges” Public nature of proceedings Court driven Parties are seen to be adversaries Costly

DISPUTE A dispute is “a disagreement on a point of law or fact, a conflict of legal views or of interests between two persons” (Detersmann and Jaenicke, 1992, p.5). Types of disputes: Rights disputes: arise from an existing relationship or existing agreement. Interest disputes: occur when parties trying to forge a relationship or negotiate a new agreement . The former type is considered to be the most important as it normally characterises all legal disputes and relates to “any conflicting assertions as to the rights and obligations of the parties.”

COMMERCIAL DISPUTES Commercial disputes arise from a wide range of commercial activities/transactions such; Commercial and Business disputes – contracts, insurance, intellectual property or trade related transactions. Other commercial issues- rights, reputation, status and money.

COMMERCIAL DISPUTES Examples of commercial disputes include: Property: arise out of contract for the sale of land (Easement, encroachment, damages for breach of contract, e.t.c Debt: seeking a declaration that contract entered into was illegal and void; payment made wrongly by say an agent on behalf of the principal; claims to have a defaulted party honour contractual obligation. Provision of Services: non-provision of services, cost and quality of the services. Claims include services rendered not done with due skills, care and diligence. Sale of goods: dispute can arise of quality of goods, delivery of goods, fitness for purpose, e.t.c when express and implied terms are breached the victim can claim damages. Business partnership disputes Sale of Business disputes

Importance of ADR in Commercial Disputes Preservation of relationships: Relationships between the parties are preserved, which is especially important if there will be ongoing contract. Inexpensive/Cost effective. Short process, e.g, days, weeks, months as compared to litigation that can take years to conclude a process. Private and Confidentiality: important in managing reputational risks especially for business. Flexibility: less formal as compared to litigation, negotiation is less formal than mediation and mediation is less formal than arbitration. Relaxed rules of evidence in say arbitration. Party autonomy: is a vital principle in ADR as it gets parties actively involved in the process.

IMPORTANCE OF ADR IN COMMERCIAL DISPUTES Expert: parties can choose an expert in the field related to the dispute thereby maximizing on getting the most out of the ADR process. Expediency: disputes are resolved faster and parties can move on with their business without the the cloud of litigation.  Party driven: ADR has parties fully involved in the process. e.g in mediation parties agree on final settlement agreement. While in arbitration and adjudication slightly different but parties are involved in the process.

ROLE OF CIArb Arbitral body: dispute appointment services(DAS)appoints expert arbitrators, adjudicator, mediators and negotiators for parties to support dispute resolution processes. Provides facilities for conducting ADR process. Promulgates ADR rules. Promotes professional standards and ethics.
