Recommended Solution
Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR)
• Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) (also known as External
Dispute Resolution in some countries, such as Australia)
includes dispute resolution processes and techniques that act
as a means for disagreeing parties to come to an agreement
short of litigation.
• It is a one step ahead of third party resolution. It combines the
third party resolution in an orderly sequence.
• E.g:
- Mediation-If it fails then….
-Arbitration
Judith and the IBMP are to be bought to a negotiation
table to see whether they are able to come to a common
ground. The procedure has first to be addressed using a
mediator and then if it does not solve the issue then an
arbitrator has to be involved.
