The author discusses the new Agreement on Internal Trade, a multilateral trade agreement to which the federal government and all the provincial governments in Canada are parties. The Agreement can also extend to municipal governments and any qualifying 'persons' in certain circumstances. The object of the Agreement is to remove barriers to the free movement of persons, goods, services and investment within Canada. This article concentrates on the dispute resolution provisions of the Agreement The article is organized into three parts: the main characteristics of these provisions, how they operate for different entities and an assessment of the provisions. The Agreement prescribes alternative dispute resolution in an effort to avoid the length and cost of traditional court settlements. It has dispute resolution provisions in two places: for each industry in its respective sector chapter and for general application in chapter 17. While the provincial and federal governments may use the dispute resolution provisions directly as needed, non-parties to the Agreement who wish to make use of the provisions may do so only if a government with which they have a "substantial connection" initiates proceedings on their behalf, or after passing a screening process. The article reviews each step of the process that must be made in order to resolve disputes under the Agreement, both for government-to-government and person-to-government disputes. The article ends with an assessment of the dispute resolution provisions and some suggested improvements to them that may have improved and streamlined the provisions, especially for person-to-government disputes.

Citizen groups that participate in alternative dispute resolution processes have overcome many of the barriers described in Sherry Arnstein's classic article, “A Ladder of Citizen Participation.” A well-structured collaborative process can remedy some of the imbalances and other stumbling blocks inherent in traditional forums, broadening the issues considered as well as the potential solutions. At the top of the ladder, there exists a three-runged extension of choices. First citizens must make the strategic choice whether or not to participate in the dispute resolution process. Second, if they choose to participate, citizens must then determine how to do so effectively. Citizen representatives can significantly influence the outcome of a negotiation if they pay attention to the critical components comprising the dispute settlement process and ensure that these are satisfactory at the outset. They must also maintain effective communication with their constituencies. At the third rung, citizen groups confront the need for continued involvement, both to ensure implementation of any agreements reached, as well as to capitalize on the productive working relationships and opportunities for further influence provided by their participation in this process.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) describes any method of resolving legal disputes other than through litigation in the ordinary courts or tribunals. ADR includes methods such as arbitration, mediation, adjudication, conciliation, med-arb, and early neutral evaluation/expert determination. This chapter explains why ADR in general exists, its many advantages (compared to litigation) as well as its disadvantages, and the differences between the various forms of ADR. The chapter examines the case law over the last fifteen years on the ‘cost consequences’ of a failure by one party to a legal dispute to engage in ADR when presented with the opportunity to do so. The chapter considers whether ADR should ever be made compulsory and the extent to which the parties to a dispute, having agreed to resolve their dispute through ADR, can be compelled to honour that agreement.

The increasing importance of international trade explains in great part the role that dispute resolution plays in trade agreement. Diversification, government's intervention in the economy, readiness of interest groups to defend their cause, all these elements make trade negotiations a much more difficult task today thon it used to be fifty years ago. Quarrels and dispute over international trade are therefore more likely to arise and it's impossible today to negotiate international trade agreements without dispute resolution mecanism. Success or failure of different type of arbitration lies in the definition of the substantive rules of trade agreements. For binding arbitration to work properly, such rules must be clear and precise. But this solution implies that independant countries renounce in part to their sovereignty. To do so, Canada and the United States decided to keep their own trade laws and accepted to submit them to binding arbitration. The same thing was done when free trade was extended to Mexico. At multilateral level, this type of arrangement would be much more difficult to implement.

<p><em>Recently, various types of disputes can arise in the community. In resolving these disputes, the disputing parties are given the freedom to choose the dispute resolution forum according to their wishes. Non-court dispute resolution schemes are strengthened by Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Juridically, the mechanism of brand dispute resolution can be done through litigation in the Commercial Court, as well as non-litigation by using an alternative mechanism for dispute resolution, either through arbitration, negotiation, mediation, conciliation, or other ways agreed upon by both parties of the dispute. The final result of the parties' dispute settlement agreement is resolution which is poured into a form of peace treaty made before a Notary. To see the position of the notarial deed in resolving disputes over brand deletions outside court, especially in the dispute over the "X" trademark between PT CPS and the inheritors of HK’s trademark, research is needed on the certainty of the enforceability and power to bind a peace agreement made before a Notary. In this study, the type of research used is normative legal research with law and case approach. From the result of this study, it can be concluded that the peace agreement between the parties was made in the form of a deed of peace before the Notary and binds the parties as a law for the parties and has perfect proof power.</em><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em></em></strong><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Dewasa ini berbagai macam sengketa dapat timbul dalam masyarakat. Dalam menyelesaikan sengketa, para pihak yang bersengketa diberi kebebasan untuk memilih forum penyelesaian sengketa sesuai dengan keinginannya. Skema penyelesaian sengketa di luar pengadilan diperkuat oleh Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 1999 tentang Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa. Secara yuridis, mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa merek dapat dilakukan melalui litigasi di Pengadilan Niaga atau non litigasi dengan menggunakan mekanisme alternatif penyelesaian sengketa, baik melalui arbitrase, negosiasi, mediasi, konsiliasi, maupun cara-cara lain yang dipilih oleh para pihak yang bersengketa. Hasil akhir dari kesepakatan penyelesaian sengketa para pihak adalah perdamaian yang dituangkan ke dalam bentuk akta perdamaian yang dibuat di hadapan Notaris. Untuk melihat kedudukan akta Notaris dalam penyelesaian sengketa penghapusan merek di luar pengadilan, khususnya dalam sengketa merek “X” antara PT CPS dan ahli waris almarhum HK, diperlukan penelitian mengenai kepastian keberlakuan dan kekuatan mengikat perjanjian perdamaian yang dibuat di hadapan Notaris. Dalam penelitian ini, jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan undang-undang dan kasus. Dari hasil penelitian tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa perjanjian perdamaian di antara para pihak dibuat dalam bentuk akta perdamaian di hadapan Notaris mengikat para pihak seperti layaknya undang-undang bagi para pihak dan memiliki kekuatan pembuktian yang sempurna.</p><p> </p>

Everyone is allowed to be in conflict with legal issues that exist in civil procedural law called cases that contain both disputes and those that do not contain disputes. Disputes are indeed important to mature the way of thinking, but more importantly must be agreed. Managing disputes means fi nding the best way to resolve them. The best way to resolve disputes is by means of a win-win solution in Act No. 30 of 1999 concerning Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Settlement of disputes with ADR has the highest degree because it is really fi nished, not resolved the dispute, as long as each party obeys all the results of the agreement that has been made. In Article 6 paragraph (7) of Act No. 30 of 1999 concerning Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), the results of the agreement must be made in written form and must be registered with the District Court. This research focuses on studying the method of registration proposed in article 6 paragraph (7). Law No. 30 of 1999. The results of this study found facts regarding the payment of the results of the agreement to the District Court does not have any legal requirements for the parties related to legal certainty, justice and benefi ts for the agreement.
