4.1.0 INTRODUCTION
The preceding chapters have analysed the ADRMs in terms of literature review, the conceptual and theoretical frameworks. This chapter will look at the data collected from the court annexed mediation, high court, the lands tribunal, and different law firms that deal in ADRMs.
The data will be analysed in order to determine whether ADRMs have effectively helped in the speedy resolution of state land disputes and thus reducing the number of disputes in land that are taken to the high court since their inception in 2000. Data collected from the various institutions that deal in ADRMs will help determine as to how far these mechanisms have gone in resolving state land disputes.

    It deals with perceptions of overall fairness (Blancero, Delcampo & Marron, 2010). Under Civil Procedure Rules, it is generally expected that the parties consider using ADR before beginning deciding on litigation (Ward, 2007). Overall, ADR parties have the freedom to choose who will decide the case, involves a non-hostile environment and disputes are confidential. Whereas, litigation does not have the option to decide who hears the case, the environment can be hostile and the files become public record, although it does offer due process (Benkin, 1994). There are three commonly accepted forms of ADR, negotiation, mediation and arbitration. Although, no method of ADR is equally exclusive to any issue, the benefits of ADR outweigh the

    Qualitative and quantitative methods allow researchers to investigate, explore and inquire the nature of the phenomenon being studied. It is important that the researcher develops a clear understanding of the problem and design a plan to investigate it (Cresswell, 1998, para. 1). There are a variety of research methods; nevertheless, it is important to consider which research method is appropriate for the study. Qualitative research focuses on human experiences while quantitative research relies on numbers, measurements, and testing. Nevertheless, qualitative and quantitative methods use similar approaches to conduct research and collect data. For example, observations and interviews are approaches used in both research designs; however, the approaches are used and viewed otherwise. This will be discussed later in the paper.

    ...d set of guidelines for determining national autonomy over territory in the face of competing factual claims. Governments are unwilling to “lose” boundary disputes since they might lose out on economic, political and/or social gains. As such, I believe that these conflicts can only be resolved by reaching a compromise that will benefit the various parties involved. Examples of such approaches include: joint management and exploitation of contested or shared resources (mineral/oil reserves or fishery stocks etc.), joint regulation, or cooperative sharing, of contested and/or shared resources (grazing rights and/or water supplies etc.), negotiated access to the sea for landlocked states or through territorial waters for neighboring states and/or commitments to respect the cultural, historical, or social heritage, as well as political autonomy of national minorities.

    Throughout this course thus far we have generically discussed the various models of mediation(in particular facilitative),skills and tasks needed by a mediator to conduct a successful mediation. The facilitative approach we have been studying, via theory and in-class exercises has afford us some great insight into mediating into a variety of domestic conflicts from family to business disputes.However,there is a whole other subfield in mediation ,which we have not discussed and that is international mediation. International mediation also has a variety of forms. Cases for mediation can range from a conflict between two states, an ethnic conflict that, has bought violence within a particular state, or perhaps a business dispute between transnational companies. The process of mediation is difficult in itself is ,but one can imagine the severe complexities one may into when trying to mediate across ethnic,linguistic,and cultural lines. As someone who is interested in doing international conflict resolution work,I feel it important to ask will the same roles and tasks needed be same,enhanced, or in some cases ineffective.The purpose of this essay will be to explore this question by explicating international mediation in relation to some of themes and theories we have discussed in class relating to the roles,tasks,and abilities of mediators.

  • alternative dispute resolution

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR refers to a number of various processes that can be used to resolve legal disputes other than by litigation. Recently, methods of dispute resolution which focus on arbitration, mediation and negotiation as an alternative to adjudication have gained notoriety. This notoriety may have been caused by the public perception that ADR methods are less expensive, more efficient, and more satisfactory than the normal traditional course of litigation. The goals of establishing these processes to resolve disputes as an alternative to more formal legal processes include: 1) to make the regular court system more efficient, less costly and more responsive to the needs of the litigants; 2) to offer alternative methods of dispute resolution in addition to the regular court system; and 3) to provide public education about the available alternatives.

  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Alternative Dispute Resolution

    ADR holds an extensive, easily influenced and diverging choice of processes for finding solutions to disputes which are personified by structured negotiation and consensus. It is regarded that arbitration is a familiar ADR technique, however, it is more of an official adjudicative and adversary technique initially a confidential litigation process which has more commonality to litigation than the more original consensual processes which symbolise ADR. As simplified by Angyal (Alternative Dispute Resolution, 1987, p. 11). "The key difference between ADR and those traditional techniques of litigation and arbitration is that ADR techniques are used to produce a resolution to dispute through a negotiated agreement while litigation and arbitration are processes by which a result is imposed on the parties. " We can say that many issues arise with terms.

  • International Commercial Mediation Case Study

    864 Words  | 2 Pages

    India is recognized as a country having a long history of mediation due to the existence and development of different forms of mediation to resolve business dispute since the pre-British India . In 1947, the concept of mediation/conciliation received legislative recognition in India for the first time in the Industrial Disputes Act which imposed the duty of conciliator to mediate and promote the settlement of industrial dispute. In 1996, an independent law regulating international commercial mediation, namely Arbitration and Conciliation Act, was adopted by Indian Parliament. It is also the first independent rule on international commercial mediation in Asia. In addition, Section 89 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 amended in 1999 provided for reference of cases pending in Courts to ADR which included mediation. Likely, due to the implementation of various mediation systems to resolve land, commercial or labor disputes since 1922, a special act regulating the court-based mediation proceedings was promulgated in Japan, namely Civil Conciliation Act (Minji Chotei Ho, Act No.222). Moreover, to encourage to development of private mediation proceedings, on 1 December 2004, the Act on promotion of use of Alternative Dispute Resolution was issued, which was followed by an Ordinance of the Ministry of Justice on 28 April 2006 and an Order of the cabinet.

  • Difference Between Arbitration And Mediation

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    Both forms of ADR have several common characteristics. However, one must consider that a neutral side in both procedures fulfils distinct from one another duties. Mediators do not have the objective to make decision, whereas arbitrators determine an outcome of the case. Upon the termination of the procedure, an arbiter renders a binding award that cannot be later avoided by disputants. During mediation, parties are not contingent upon the third side and enjoy freedom of actions needed for dispute resolution. In contrast, in case of failure to reach an agreement, parties are not legally bound for actions afterwards. By considering the true qualities of arbitration and mediation taken individually, legislation and scientists suggest that in single arbitration, arbitrators may use mediators’ functions to promote amicable settlement and functions of both arbitrators and mediators have incongruous
