What is Dispute Resolution

Dispute resolution is about sorting out conflict between two or more parties. It is conflict resolution through legal means. Some examples of when dispute resolution is required include: 

• Consumer disputes: For example goods or services haven’t been delivered adequately.
• Property disputes: Disagreements may arise between landowners or a landlord and tenant about what is happening on land or a failure to properly maintain the land.  
• Probate & Estate disputes: Sometimes family members or dependents of someone who is recently deceased take issue with the terms of the Will and who stands to inherit.   

Often dispute resolution will result in one party receiving financial compensation or damages. Eric Robinson Solicitors can support you no matter what type of dispute resolution you need. Our experienced solicitors can provide advice on the best action to take at the beginning of a disagreement right up to representing you in court if your dispute reaches that point. There are, however, many stages to dispute resolution before it reaches that point, including many Alternative Dispute Resolution options.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

There are four types of alternative dispute resolution which can be utilised before considering court proceedings: negotiation, mediation, arbitration and conciliation. Our expert Solicitors are fully trained in all areas of ADR and are able to support you to achieve an outcome that works for you. 

• Negotiation is the simplest form of ADR, involving direct communication between the parties in conflict. It allows the disputants to discuss their issues, interests, and concerns to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. 

• Mediation involves a neutral third party, the mediator, who assists the disputing parties in reaching a voluntary agreement. The mediator helps to facilitate communication, clarify issues, and explore possible solutions whilst guiding the parties toward a resolution that meets their needs.

• Arbitration is a more formal ADR process where a neutral third party, the arbitrator, listens to both sides of the dispute and renders a decision. Arbitration can be either binding or non-binding, depending on the agreement of the parties involved. It typically follows a procedure similar to a court trial.

• Conciliation is more widely used in employment disputes and is compulsory ahead of an employment tribunal. Similar to mediation, it is used to attempt to help the parties reach an agreement after discussing the issues with a conciliator. 

When do you need Litigation? 

Litigation is the final step of dispute resolution when none of the ADR methods have worked. It involves the claimant taking the defendant to court and both sides presenting evidence in front of a judge. A decision will then be reached and one party will be awarded damages or financial compensation. 

If you need to progress a dispute case to court or anticipate facing a lawsuit in the near future, it is crucial to employ a litigation solicitor as soon as possible. A qualified solicitor will be able to guide you through the process, minimise stress and defend your interests. Get in touch with us to see how we can help.
