The research aims to highlight and discuss the different modes of settlement of disputes in today�s populated and overcrowded societies. The research has shown that due to expensive, time consuming and rigid process of formal justice system (court litigation) USA, Australia, UK and even European Union countries have preferred informal justice system (Alternative Dispute Resolution) for disputants to opt for their solutions. The informal dispute resolution system (Alternative Dispute Resolution) prevailing in modern countries like USA, Australia and UK is full of benefits and most probably the main reason for their progress and development also, and the study has shown that the system is working successfully in these countries, therefore, it can be applied anywhere even in the developing countries as well because this system is more sustainable in any form than the formal justice system (court litigation).

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.

AbstractSince 1978, we have observed the steady development of institutions, mechanisms and processes of dispute resolution in China. In the last ten years or so, we then noted frequent issuance of new rules and measures as well as revision of existing laws, the promotion of mediation as the preferred method for resolving disputes and, more recently, the promotion of an integrated dispute-resolution system as a national strategy for comprehensive social control (as well as for resolving disputes), in the name of reforming and strengthening ‘the Mechanism for Pluralist Dispute Resolution’. Careful examination of these latest developments suggests that fundamental changes are taking place that may potentially alter the course of the development of the Chinese dispute-resolution system. These developments are the focus of this paper with an aim to ascertain the nature of the developments and their future direction or directions.

In recent times, most of the parties involved in dispute resolution process are favoring Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR over the formal adjudication process due to ADR’s distinguished benefits. In order to reduce the backlog and pressure of workload, courts randomly select alternative ways to settle dispute. Therefore, a question can be raised how well ADR is working in reality? If a dispute is in existence between a company and an individual, the individual might not get a proper redress against an esteemed company. Moreover, there is a possibility of bias in favor of those who is in the superior positions. Though it was a courageous effort from the legislature and the judiciary to make the dispute resolution system compatible with the changing society, a question remains: how much upshot is there in the legal field? To what extent does the ADR process elude or ensure justice? DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbt.v8i1-2.18283 Journal of Business and Technology (Dhaka) Vol.8(1-2) 2013; 1-16

This article examines the place of mediation both internally and externally to the civil justice system. The growth of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and the culture of settlement within formal justice has somewhat absorbed mediation as a process by which to resolve disputes at the door of the court. Yet, it can be argued that its origins lie within the community setting where social norms have a distinct role to play and where collective as well as individual interests have a significant impact. This paper considers the application of mediation in a much wider sense than simply as a tool for settlement. It explores the concept of mediation as an educative process that supports the generation and advocation of social norms. Mediation can be understood as a form of self-regulation which relies on perceptions of fairness, justice and trust. In so doing, it can be argued that it provides a means of informal justice amounting to dispute prevention as far as its relationship to the justice system is concerned. Viewed in this way, mediation provides a genuine first choice as a means to address and resolve conflict rather than an alternative method by which to settle disputes. Keywords: mediation; dispute resolution; dispute prevention; community norms; formal justice; informal justice; process pluralism; alternative; first choice.
