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.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of a system of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in Serbia as one of the instruments stimulating the development of entrepreneurship and combating corruption. The author considers such nonjudicial legitimate methods of dispute resolution as negotiations of the parties, mediation, arbitration (binding arbitration) and the court of honor at the Economic chamber of Serbia, as well as other conciliation procedures. One of the main characteristic by which non-judicial methods of dispute resolution can be classified is the participation in them of third parties. The Serbian law relates to them participation of mediators in the reconciliation procedures, ombudsmen, state rights activists (authorized to protect the rights and interests of the state), judges, lawyers. Special attention is paid to mediation as a set of voluntary modes of settlement of the conflicting parties with the participation of third parties. The mediation is conducted on the good will of the conflicting parties by the mediator who seeks to resolve disputes through a settlement agreement. Under the law mediation can be realized by mediators, ombudsmen, state rights activists (authorized to protect the rights and interests of the state) who are trained by judges and lawyers. The article discusses the mechanism of pre-trial dispute settlement between the conflicting parties. Special attention is paid to the analysis of pre-trial settlement of disputes between parents of minor children decided to divorce. In Serbia an important role in the formation of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms of economic entities plays a chamber of Commerce of Serbia under which exists the court of honor and court of arbitration. Their competence includes the resolution of disputes through mediation.


Conciliation and mediation have great potential to resolve investor-State disputes. Nonetheless, arbitration has significantly overshadowed these two forms of amicable dispute settlement processes. This disparity is slowly changing, and, in recent times, interest has grown in conciliation and mediation, particularly given the duration, complexity, and cost of investor-State arbitrations, as well as concerns as to the substantive content of investor-State arbitral decisions. No clear consensus has emerged regarding the precise definition of either conciliation or mediation. Given the substantial overlap between the two processes, they have often been referred to as functionally equivalent and interchangeable. The best way to identify conciliation or mediation is through close examination of the particular set of rules and practices at issue. But the two dispute settlement mechanisms are generally distinguishable. At its core, conciliation involves a sole conciliator or conciliation commission considering the respective positions of the disputing parties and making nonbinding recommendations for settlement. Conciliation rules typically have flexibility to accommodate other mediation techniques that share the same purpose and may require a conciliator or conciliation commission to produce a written evaluation of the parties’ respective legal positions. In comparison, mediation is a process in which a mediator (1) assists the parties to focus on their real interests rather than legal rights, (2) generally avoids making any merits-based evaluation of parties’ positions, and (3) facilitates a meaningful dialogue between the parties to reach an amicable settlement. Unlike arbitration, in which the disputing parties have no certainty over the arbitrators’ binding decisions, the success of both conciliation and mediation depends on the willingness and cooperation of the parties to reach a voluntary and agreed settlement. A settlement agreement resulting from a mediation or conciliation process may potentially be enforced under domestic laws or in states that have ratified the Singapore Convention on Mediation, an innovation in international dispute resolution that may increase interest in investor-State conciliation and mediation. The UNCITRAL Working Group III is presently considering whether and how to promote conciliation, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms in reforms to the present system of investor-State dispute settlement.

Joseph (Josh) Stulberg published The Theory and Practice of Mediation: A Reply to Professor Susskind in 1981. His thesis was direct and simple: a mediator’s commitment to neutrality is the critical element which “permits mediation to be an effective, principled dispute settlement procedure” (p. 86). Stulberg articulated for all of us—then and now—the centrality of neutrality and impartiality to the very definition of mediation. This articulation continues to be a significant contribution to the dispute resolution field; indeed, the Stulberg article deserves to be labeled “foundational.” We question, however, whether the 1981 commitment to neutrality Stulberg articulated is understood by mediator practitioners today in the same way he intended, given the wide range of disputes now subject to mediation. Stulberg wrote in 1981, “[p]aradoxically, while the use of mediation has expanded, a common understanding as to what constitutes mediation has weakened” (p. 85). Ironically, despite Stulberg’s very clear thesis, his article contained the seeds that contribute to confusion in the definition of mediation itself....

There is a tug of authority in resolving insurance disputes outside the court between the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK) based on Law Nomor 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection with Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions (LAPS) based on Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014. This encourages the author to conduct legal research in order to determine the authority of BPSK in resolving insurance disputes as well as the legal consequences of the decision after the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014 using the statutory approach. This legal research results in the finding that BPSK is still authorized to settle insurance disputes following the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014, this is based on the provisions of the Lex superior derogat legi inferiori principle. Then there is no legal effect on the BPSK decision after the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation. This is because BPSK's decision has been based on Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, whose position is higher than the Regulation of the Financial Services Authority. So there is no need for BPSK to follow the provisions of the regulations whose hierarchy of legislation is lower than the Consumer Protection Act. Therefore BPSK's decision is "final and binding" as explained in Article 54 paragraph 3 of the Consumer Protection Act.

Titles in the Complete series combine extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text to provide readers with a complete introductory resource. This chapter discusses the role of a range of accountability methods to scrutinize the executive’s use of power. This includes the work of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, who is now also known as the Parliamentary Ombudsman, the role of tribunals in contrast to courts, of public inquiries and of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms too. It also examines the limitations of each of these methods, and how they may complement each other to provide different forms of scrutiny.
