Extracts have been chosen from a wide range of historical and contemporary cases to illustrate the reasoning processes of the courts and to show how legal principles are developed. This chapter examines the rationale for giving the task of resolving disputes to statutory tribunals rather than courts. It also describes the new structure and organization for most tribunals and how they conduct dispute resolution adjudication. This technique of redress is considered alongside some methods of alternative dispute resolution. Their place in a staged approach, proportionate dispute resolution, is outlined and the possible benefit of conceiving administrative justice as a system with a focus on users is raised.

ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution), as a non-judicial resolution of disputes, is a wide range of mechanisms that aim to put an end to a conflict without the need of conducting a trial before the court. On the other hand, the modern form of ADR is ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) – an online dispute resolution system that is the expression of the newest means of communication and technical innovations in order to help in non-judicial dispute resolving. The goal of this publication is to present the ODR platform and, in particular, to describe the process of filing a complaint by the consumer by means of it.

  The aims and objectives of the research are to find out the practice of resolving sharia economic disputes in a non-litigation manner and the application of sharia economic dispute auctions. In order to achieve the aims and objectives, this research uses a normative juridical research method with an approach that refers to the Qur'an, Al-Hadith, ijtihad, legal theory, legal principles and legislation. Sources of data are obtained from the Qur'an, Al-Hadith, books, laws and regulations, court decisions, and so on as long as they are interrelated. The practice of resolving sharia economic disputes in a non-litigation manner can be pursued by arbitration, namely through the Sharia Arbitration Board (“Basyarnas-MUI”) and by alternative dispute resolution methods, namely through Consultation, Negotiation, Mediation or Expert Assessment. This is related to arbitration through the Basyarnas-MUI for the procedures and procedures that have been regulated. Meanwhile, alternative dispute resolution by means of Consultation, Negotiation, Mediation or Expert Assessment has not been sufficiently regulated. Despite this, there is already a National Committee for Islamic Economics and Finance (KNEKS) whose function is to formulate and provide recommendations for solving problems in the Islamic economy and finance sector. In addition to that, there are also arbitration institutions and other alternative dispute resolution, but these institutions have not specifically regulated the non-litigation settlement of sharia economic disputes. The application of sharia economic dispute auctions can be carried out on material guarantees by means of parate execution, executive titles or underhand sales. However, against the auction mechanism, the debtor can still take legal action, namely the cancellation of the auction or resistance / objection to the auction. This of course, apart from being less effective, it does not provide as intended the purpose of the law and legal protection for interested parties.

The paper highlights the practice of pre-trial settlements in the sphere of construction in advanced countries of the world. Specific features of scientific theoretical approaches to dispute settlement in construction works have been substantiated. The international experience of advanced countries in application of the mechanisms for alternative dispute resolution has been analyzed, and a comprehensive research into international legal acts has been conducted. The vector of priority directions and ways to introduce the alternative mechanisms in the conditions of the Ukrainian state are determined. It is proposed to achieve the desired results by applying the discussed forms under administrative system reform. It is noted that today the Ukrainian state is only at the stage of creating an alternative dispute resolution model in construction. It is noted that the idea of introducing this practice in the domestic legal system is supported by a wide range of specialists. Such an interest corresponds to the desire of Ukraine to harmonize national legislation. It is grounded that the definition of priority directions and ways of introducing alternative mechanisms in the field of construction in Ukraine is to apply foreign experience in the context of reforming the modern political system, namely decentralization. It is the application of the proposed model that should be implemented at the state, regional and local levels, legally consolidate it and solve urgent problems. Such a systematization, in my opinion, will lead to a more objective and perfect settlement of disputes over a short period of time. It is noted that nowadays there is a considerable scientific interest in this issue, the expediency of using alternative mechanisms in the Ukrainian state is solved. However, this is a rather controversial issue, so there is a need for a comprehensive study of experience in foreign countries and the identification of priority areas and ways of applying experience in modern conditions in Ukraine.

TikTok has now become an application that is widely used by all people and that it has become a trend. The application has a General Terms of Services which is the basis for using Tiktok. In the practice of uploading songs by users without realizing it, gives a juridical implication because users do not fully understand the provisions contained in the Terms of Services. Appropriately, before the user takes and modifies the work of the song which is then used for commercial use, the user already has a license or permission from the author. The problems studied are the legal consequences of uploading songs in this TikTok application which are commercialized without the permission of the Creator by the related users, as well as to see the legal efforts that can be taken by the Creator on songs that are commercialized without the permission of the Creator in this application. The research method used is juridical normative, namely an approach method that uses laws and legal principles as a means of solving the problems at hand. The results of the research conclude that currently, the violation of Copyright has changed from criminalization to remuneration, where the legal consequence of the Copyright infringement is non-compensation to the Creator due to commercial use of songs. Regarding the protection efforts, it can be done in several ways, namely recording, administrative legal remedies and supervision. In terms of fulfilling the rights of the Creator, legal remedies can be taken, namely preventive and repressive measures consisting of civil and criminal remedies. In addition, it can also be resolved by alternative dispute resolution and arbitration.

Legal disputes are inseparable part of the life of society. The task of the state is to create conditions for resolving disputes and to defend the rights and interests of citizens that are protected by law. Legal relationships are undoubtedly the sphere of potential disputes. The search for alternative and effective procedures of resolving such disputes is an important issue. At the same time, the main legal issue of the tax sphere is mainly to define and effectively ensure the limits of freedom and necessity in the behavior of taxpayers through the relevant legal, legislative norms, protection of property rights of individual taxpayers and the interests of society. Alternative Dispute Resolution або ADR include mediation, which gained broad recognition all over the world, including the European Union, which is postulated at the legislative level. It is often used, which makes it possible to prevent the negative consequences for the dispute parties as early as at the initial stage and avoid the expensive and lengthy trial. It gained recognition in resolving a wide range of disputes and arguments, beginning with the disputes in local communities and finishing with complex multi-lateral disputes in the commercial and public spheres. In many countries it is legislatively stipulated. Today, the institution of the alternative dispute resolution in the modified form is partially present in the Ukrainian legislation and in practice, at the same time, it is difficult to call the sphere of the alternative methods of dispute resolution well-developed. In this case, the lawyers and scientists discuss a wide implementation of the alternative ways, including mediation, virtually in all branches of law. The article, taking into account the practice of using alternative dispute resolution in other countries (international experience), identifies the possibility of using them in Ukraine as a separate permanent institution of pre-trial dispute resolution in the field of tax relations (the result of application of which can be achievement of reconciliation and/or tax compromise), which is directed at the improvement of tax administration. The concept of the tax compromise was also formulated and scientifically substantiated conclusions in the stated area were made.

The purpose of this article is to address the question of arbitrability of administrative conflicts, generally and as characteristic of Portugal. Although the use of arbitration in conflicts where public entities intervene in private relationships is usually allowed, European legislatures commonly consider administrative disputes as a type of controversy excluded from arbitration. It is indeed easy to raise strong arguments against alternative dispute resolution when public administration is implicated. Nevertheless, none of the objections usually raised seems to be unbridgeable. Consequently, the article aims to critically analyse the main arguments against the power of arbitrators to rule on public conflicts. Presently, the Portuguese law allows administrative arbitration in a wide range of areas, from conflicts relating to administrative contracts to conflicts over the legality of administrative authority acts. The assessment of this regime makes it clear that the enlargement of the objective scope of administrative arbitration has to be accompanied by rules, which offer a response to the specific requirements of administrative law and a safeguard of public interest. In this sense, the analysis offers a critical review of the solutions of Portuguese law, which can be also used in comparable legal regimes of other European countries.

The article analyzes the latest versions of federal laws that made changes to the mediation procedure — allowed judges to resign to perform the procedure of professional mediation; provided an opportunity to notarize a mediation agreement, giving force to an enforcement document; the procedure of «judicial reconciliation» appeared. It is proved that mediation in its essence is not the «activity» of professional intermediaries, mediators, but a «procedure», namely, a structured process that is an alternative dispute resolution technology. The legal principles of the mediation process are disclosed: voluntariness, confidentiality, neutrality, passionlessness and independence of the mediator, independent decision-making by the parties, equality of the parties.
