The Alternative Dispute Resolution Act

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Act encourages resolving disputes outside of court through methods like arbitration, mediation, or conciliation. It promotes the use of these processes to save time, reduce costs, and avoid lengthy litigation. The Act sets guidelines for how disputes can be referred to ADR, establishes procedures for fair and effective resolution, and encourages parties to voluntarily engage in these methods. Its goal is to ease the burden on courts and provide more efficient, flexible ways for individuals and organizations to settle disagreements amicably.
