ADR (based on ATTY HIGUIT’S OUTLINE)-CHARMAGNE FERRER’S REVIEWER => evidence in the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides and enforceable.!# $ther forms of ADR include mediation!%# (a form of settlement negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party) and non&binding resolution by e'perts. Arbitration is often used for the resolution of commercial disputes, particularly in the conte't of international commercial transactions. he use of arbitration is also frequently employed in consumer and employment matters, where arbitration may be mandated by the terms of employment or commercial contracts. Arbitration can be either voluntary or mandatory (although mandatory arbitration can only come from a statute or from a contract that is voluntarily entered into, where the parties agree to hold all e'isting or future disputes to arbitration, without necessarily nowing, specifically, what disputes will ever occur) and can be either binding or non&binding. *on&binding arbitration is similar to mediation in that a decision can not be imposed on the parties. +owever, the principal distinction is that whereas a mediator will try to help the parties find a middle ground on which to compromise, the (non&binding) arbitrator remains totally removed from the settlement process and will only give a determination of liability and, if appropriate, an indication of the quantum of damages payable. y one definition arbitration is binding and so non&binding arbitration is technically not arbitration. Arbitration is a proceeding in which a dispute is resolved by an impartial ad-udicator whose decision the parties to the dispute have agreed, or legislation has decreed, will be final and binding. here are limited rights of review and appeal of arbitration awards. Arbitration is not the same as -udicial proceedings, although in some -urisdictions, court proceedings are sometimes referred as arbitrations!/# alternative dispute resolution (or ADR ) 0arties often see to resolve their disputes through arbitration because of a number of perceived potential advantages over -udicial proceedings when the sub-ect matter of the dispute is highly technical, arbitrators with an appropriate degree of e'pertise can be appointed (as one cannot "choose the -udge" in litigation)!1#

ADR (based on ATTY HIGUIT’S OUTLINE)-CHARMAGNE FERRER’S REVIEWER ;: arbitrators are generally unable to enforce interlocutory measures against a party, maing it easier for a party to tae steps to avoid enforcement of member or a small group of members in arbitration due to increasing legal fees, without e'plaining to the members the adverse consequences of an unfavorable ruling

Arbitration agreement

n theory, arbitration is a consensual process9 a party cannot be forced to arbitrate a dispute unless he agrees to do so. n practice, however, many fine&print arbitration agreements are inserted in situations in which consumers and employees have no bargaining power. >oreover, arbitration clauses are frequently placed within sealed users8 manuals within products, within lengthy clic&through agreements on websites, and in other conte'ts in which meaningful consent is not realistic. ;uch agreements are generally divided into two types agreements which provide that, if a dispute should arise, it will be resolved by arbitration. hese will generally be normal contracts, but they contain an arbitration clause agreements which are signed after a dispute has arisen, agreeing that the dispute should be resolved by arbitration (sometimes called a "submission agreement") he former is the far more prevalent type of arbitration agreement. ;ometimes, legal significance attaches to the type of arbitration agreement.
