Arbitration is another common ADR technique, in which the parties by mutual consent, hire an impartial person or a group to act as fact-finder and judge, for the purpose of reaching a final and binding decision more rapidly and less expensively than through the court system. Before the arbitration process begins, the parties agree to abide by the decision of the arbitrator. If the arbitrator’s decision is not honored by one of the parties, the final decision can be enforced in court.
Many times arbitration is used as a secondary solution, when a mediator is unable to find a way to resolve the problem to which all parties agree. At the start of the mediation process, the disputing parties may agree, if the mediator is unable to arrive at a solution acceptable to all parties, an arbitrator will be chosen to make a final binding decision.
