Arbitration and Mediation

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

ARBITRATION: Arbitration, probably the best-known form of private dispute resolution, is a formal and binding process where the dispute is resolved by the decision of a nominated third party, the arbitrator or arbitrators. (CIArb)*
MEDIATION: Mediation is a private and structured form of negotiation assisted by a third party that is initially non-binding. If a settlement is reached the mediator can draw up an agreement that can then become a legally binding contract. (CIArb)*
