DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
A dispute settlement mechanism is a
structured process that addresses disputes or
grievances that arise between two or more
parties engaged in business, legal, or societal
relationships.
Dispute mechanisms are used in dispute
resolution, and may incorporate negotiation,
conciliation, mediation, arbitration and
litigation.
Otherwise known as grievance
mechanisms, dispute mechanisms are
typical non-judicial in nature, meaning
that they are not resolved within the
court of law.
ADR is seen as an alternative to litigation
in resolving contractual disputes as it is
perceived to be cost saving, more private
and able to avoid ill-will or animosity as
it sometimes does, in litigation.
