ADR


	ADR
	Advantages Cases are dealt with more CHEAPLY as parties are encouraged to represent themselves and not use lawyers therefore this makes arbiration mush cheaper than a court case. ADR can be a short process. Procedures in ADR are less formal as parties are encouraged to present their own case without lawyers. A mediator, conciliation or arbitration has EXPERTISE in the relevant area therefore they have a greater understanding of the issues in the case. ADR takes place PRIVATELY meaning there's no publicity. No losers as ADR only produces winners as a compromise favorable to all is reached.	Disadvantages Legal aid funding is not available for ADR and usuallt the claimant isn't legally represented which puts the other party at an unfair advantage as they may use a lawyer. There's an UNCERTAIN OUTCOME as ADR doesn't always produce a definite outcome and there could be more delay if the opposite party use another method of ACR or go to court. ADR relies on both parties wanting to compromise which isn't always the case when antagonizing and being bitter towards each other. There could be a delay in arbitration as if professional arbitrator and lawyers are used there can be a large volume of cases. Also negotiation can last a while. There's a lack of precedent to follow when trying to predict the outcome of ADR. There are limited rights of appeal with ADR. Under section 68 of arbitration Act 1996.
