The first phase would be self-help dispute resolution using on-line, interactive tools. If that did not result in resolution, the second phase would be on-line, supervised negotiations. Assuming no resolution, the third phase would involve direct intervention by a case manager to attempt to facilitate a settlement. The final stage would be a tribunal hearing, which could take place on-line.” “…the Commission agreed that a Working Group should be established to undertake work in the field of online dispute resolution (ODR) relating to cross-border electronic commerce transactions…to create a global system for the resolution of cross-border disputes involving high-volume, low-value transactions.”* “The Regulation … establishes a EU-wide ODR Platform that will facilitate the resolution of consumer disputes related to the cross-border (and probably also domestic) online sale of goods and provision of services arising from e- commerce...” Laws are being passed around the world that require ODR:
