Conciliation and Neutral Evaluation
Other methods such as negotiation, conciliation and facilitation are less formal in the ADR spectrum. The focus is on the relationship between the disputing parties and helping both sides come to a mutually agreeable solution.
More evaluative methods that place greater focus on fact-finding and evidence include expert appraisal, neutral evaluation and mini-trials.
The various ADR processes may also be used flexibly in conjunction with each other. The flexible nature of ADR and the various options available allows parties to choose the most appropriate way for resolving their disputes without unnecessary cost or delay.
