Arbitration is a process whereby parties agree to refer their disputes to an arbitrator instead of the courts. The arbitrator acts like a judge and his decision is binding upon the parties.
The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators offers both Accredited Mediator Training as well as Mediators to act in dispute resolution. Mediation is an informal, voluntary process.
Conciliation is an alternative dispute resolution option in any commercial dispute. The vast majority of conciliations arise out of contracts used in the construction industry.
Adjudication is a judgmental process. The contractual rights and the facts at issue in a dispute are considered by an independent third party, who is paid by those in dispute, and he gives a decision which is temporarily binding - a similar process to Arbitration but with out the difficulty associated with finality.
The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators offers the services of Expert Determination. Expert determination is a private and confidential method of dispute resolution whereby disputing parties appoint an expert to determine a matter of face, valuation or law, in a final and binding manner.
Early Neutral Evaluation: Dispute Board: Judicial Appraisal: Med-Arb are all alternative dispute resolution services offered by the Institute.
