The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) System refers to a collection of methods and techniques that allow parties to resolve their legal disputes without proceeding to a full-scale traditional trial in a court of law.
The ADR system aims to provide "access to justice" by being faster, cheaper, and less formal than litigation. In India, the legal basis for the ADR system is found in Section 89 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which encourages courts to refer cases to ADR modes such as:
Arbitration
Conciliation
Mediation
Judicial Settlement (including Lok Adalat)
