What are dispute resolution methods?
A dispute may be addressed through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or court proceedings.
Key concepts and application
Choice depends on the right, party agreement and mandatory rules. Negotiation is direct; a mediator supports communication. Arbitration gives decision-making power through a distinct procedure.
Rights, procedure and limits
Compare time, cost, confidentiality and enforceability. Not all routes fit every dispute, and deadlines matter. Verify any mandatory first step in the actual case.
