Nature of ADR System

 The nature of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) system is consensual, informal, and restorative. It is designed as a substitute for traditional litigation in courts.

  • Non-Adversarial: Unlike courts where the atmosphere is "win-lose," ADR methods like Conciliation and Mediation focus on "win-win" outcomes.

  • Party Autonomy: The parties have the freedom to choose their judges (arbitrators), the venue, the language, and even the rules of the procedure.

  • Flexibility: ADR is not bound by the technicalities of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) or the Indian Evidence Act. It follows the Principles of Natural Justice.

  • Confidentiality: Proceedings are private, which protects the reputation and trade secrets of the parties.

  • Finality: It aims to reduce the burden on the judiciary by providing a final and binding resolution that has limited grounds for appeal.
