ABSTRACT

The Benefits ofADR Simpler, Cheaper, Quicker 4.1 ADR is used for a variety of practical reasons. Procedures may be simpler,

and closer to normal business activity. There may be less, or better focused, paperwork. The work done in preparing disputes for the resolution process may be less, or simpler. Parties may choose an arbitrator or mediator for special knowledge or expertise. It may be possible to find earlier or more convenient dates for ADR than court lists permit. These, and other, factors are said to combine to make ADR a less expensive option for many cases.
