Arbitration

Arbitration is an alternative to litigation as a means of resolving disputes. It is based on the parties agreement: all parties must agree to submit the dispute in question to arbitration. Arbitration is a private forum in which an independent arbitrator makes an award, acting in a judicial fashion, to finalise the dispute. The outcome (the award) is final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator focuses on the issues (fact or law) presented by the parties.

Mediation

Mediation is the process whereby parties, with the assistance of a neutral third party (the mediator), identify the issues in dispute, explore the options for resolution and attempt to reach agreement.

Conciliation

Conciliation is similar to mediation except that, usually, the third party will actively assist the parties to settle the dispute (for example, by making suggestions regarding settlement options.

Negotiation

Negotiation involves the parties attempting to reach agreement on matters in dispute without the assistance of a third party. Discussions usually proceed on a without prejudice basis.

Neutral Evaluation

The parties appoint an independent person to provide a non-binding opinion on the merits which evaluates the facts, evidence and law relating to a particular issue, or the whole case.
