ADR System: Advantages And Disadvantages

Posted on May 28, 2022June 27, 2022 By hindlaw No Comments on ADR System: Advantages And Disadvantages

ADR can be defined as a technique or mechanism of dispute resolution through the intervention of the third party. In ADR the neutral third party may bridge the gap between the parties by bringing them together through the process of arbitration, conciliation, mediation or negotiation, thus the ADR aims to provide an inexpensive, speedy and less formalistic remedy to the aggrieved party. Its purpose is to provide a remedy which is most appropriate in the circumstances of the case.

Advantages of ADR System

The merits/advantages of ADR are as follows:

  1. ADR process can be initiated at any time, when the disputing party takes recourse to ADR.
  2. It can provide more expeditious and less expensive settlement of disputes.
  3. It promotes conducive and amicable mechanisms.
  4. This system provides a flexible procedure and is not rigid.
  5. No lawyer’s assistance is mandatory, it does not mean that the role of lawyer is diminished.
  6. ADR reduces the workload of the regular courts of law.
  7. ADR helps in confining disputes as a private matter.
  8. ADR can be used to reduce the gravity of contentious issues between the parties.
