ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR)
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is the resolution of disputes through means other than
litigation. The most common alternatives are arbitration and mediation. The high expense and
excessive length of time required for traditional litigation have led to an enormous increase in
the use of ADR in settling legal disputes. It is a practice that is highly encouraged (and in some
cases mandated) by Canadian courts. Related topics: CIVIL PROCEDURE, COMMERCIAL
ARBITRATION.
MODES ALTERNATIFS DE RÉSOLUTION DES CONFLITS
(MARC)
La résolution des conflits par des moyens autres que le procès. Les solutions de rechange les
plus communes sont l’arbitrage et la médiation. Le coût élevé et la durée excessive du procès
traditionnel ont mené à une grande augmentation de l’utilisation des méthodes alternatives de
règlement des différends. Les tribunaux canadiens encouragent fortement cette pratique. Voir
aussi : PROCÉDURE CIVILE et ARBITRAGE (CIVIL ET COMMERCIAL).
