Litigation is the best way to resolve Conflict? Justify your answer.

Arbitration, this is the best type of dispute resolution because it aims to solve the conflict

court. The arbitrator will be served as the magistrate and collect evidence to the both party
and the arbitrator will be the one who makes the decision. For example, if the dispute of
aggrieved party is not so serious, this is the best way to resolve their problem with the
offender in order to avoid unnecessary expenses in court and to have a quick decision
regarding the dispute.

significant in settling disputes? Explain your answer.

are being filed everyday and lot of evidence and proof are needed to solve the case unlike in
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), this law aims to have a quick decision regarding the
disputes and resolves the dispute without going to courtroom and it is cheaper than filing a
case in court. In addition, this law makes an unbiased decision in order to well solve the
dispute unlike in supreme court.
