ADR (ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION) AT SPPM
What Is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a term used to describe various methods of resolving disputes without resorting to state courts.
When a dispute arises, taking the matter to court may involve a costly, stressful and lengthy legal process.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can save you time and money and, most importantly, help you preserve a positive relationship with the other party.
ADR services at SPPM will become available to the public following the adoption of the relevant Rules of Procedure and the preparation of all other documents required by law. Further information will be published on our website in due course.
MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION AT SPPM
Since 1 August 2012, we have been offering mediation and conciliation services to the public through SPPM.
Mediation and conciliation are dispute resolution procedures that may be used at any stage of a dispute. They do not involve the imposition of a decision by a third party against the will of the parties, and neither party needs to be a loser. These procedures are highly cost-effective and can be completed quickly.
We recommend initiating the procedure as soon as a dispute arises, before it escalates and before court proceedings are commenced.
The procedure for conducting mediation and conciliation is set out in the Rules of Conciliation.
