Alternative Dispute Resolution in India
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods like mediation, arbitration, and conciliation offer faster and cheaper alternatives to traditional court litigation.
Types of ADR
Arbitration is a private process where a neutral third party makes a binding decision. Mediation involves a mediator facilitating a negotiated settlement. Conciliation is similar to mediation but the conciliator may propose terms.
Legal Framework
The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 governs arbitration in India. Section 89 of the Civil Procedure Code encourages courts to refer disputes to ADR.
