What is Dispute Resolution?
Dispute resolution is a term that refers to a number of processes that can be used to resolve a conflict, dispute or claim. Dispute resolution may also be referred to as alternative dispute resolution, appropriate dispute resolution, or ADR for short.
For example, I turned to a commercial mediator in Knoxville to settle some disputes quickly, and it was cheaper and faster than any of my previous litigation.
Dispute resolution processes are alternatives to having a court (state or federal judge or jury) decide the dispute in a trial or other institutions decide the resolution of the case or contract. Dispute resolution processes can be used to resolve any type of dispute including family, neighborhood, employment, business, housing, personal injury, consumer, and environmental disputes.
Many architectural and building contracts call for mediation and/or arbitration as alternatives to the traditional method of dispute resolution, which is known as litigation in the State or Federal Judicial System. Make certain that you are “comfortable” with such language and, if not, consult an attorney for his/her opinion.
