Common Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) matters
Arbitral awards
Once arbitrators decide a dispute they issue an arbitral award. Questions often arise about whether an award can be enforced, or whether grounds exist to apply for it to be set aside within the time the law allows.
Dispute-resolution clauses in contracts
The wording of an arbitration or dispute-resolution clause shapes how any future dispute must be handled — the seat, the process, and whether an institution administers it. Clear drafting reduces later uncertainty.
Commercial and institutional arbitration
Commercial disputes may be arbitrated on an ad hoc basis or under the rules of an arbitral institution. The choice affects procedure, timelines, and cost.
General legal process
Step 1
The proceedings
In arbitration the parties exchange their positions and evidence and are heard before the tribunal. In mediation and conciliation the neutral works with the parties toward a settlement they draft themselves.
Step 2
The outcome
Arbitration ends in an arbitral award. Mediation and conciliation end in a settlement agreement if the parties reach one. What happens next — enforcement, or a challenge within the permitted time — depends on the outcome and the law.
Step 3
Identifying the agreed process
The first question is usually what the parties agreed. An arbitration agreement or dispute-resolution clause often determines whether a matter goes to arbitration, and on what terms.
Step 4
Commencing the process
Arbitration typically begins with a notice invoking the clause and steps to constitute the tribunal. Mediation and conciliation begin when the parties agree to participate and a neutral is appointed.

Frequently asked questions
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Mayiladuthurai
What is the difference between arbitration and mediation?
In arbitration, one or more arbitrators hear the dispute and decide it by issuing an award that binds the parties. In mediation, a neutral facilitator helps the parties negotiate their own settlement and does not impose a decision. Conciliation is similar to mediation in that it is settlement-focused.
Do I have to arbitrate if my contract has an arbitration clause?
An arbitration agreement generally directs how disputes under that contract are to be resolved. Whether and how it applies to a particular dispute depends on the wording of the clause and the law, so the clause itself is the natural starting point.
Can an arbitral award be challenged?
The law allows an award to be challenged only on limited grounds and within a defined time. Whether any ground applies depends entirely on the facts and the award, which is why the award and the record are reviewed carefully.
Is ADR always faster or cheaper than going to court?
ADR is often more private and flexible and can be quicker, but this is not guaranteed in every matter. The suitability of arbitration, mediation, or conciliation depends on the dispute, the agreement between the parties, and the relief sought.
