Legislation and court procedures have demonstrated recently how ADR is important in resolving disputes. ‘The commercial Court released a practice statement in 1993, showing that it wished to encourage ADR, and followed this in 1996 with a further direction directing judges to consider whether a case is suitable for ADR at its outset, and to invite the parties to attempt a neutral non-court settlement of their disputes’. The pre-action protocols state that parties should take reasonable steps to apply the directions given in order to make a claim. Failure to apply these pre-action measures may result in not being paid the stipulated costs at the end of the case. ‘Rule 1.4(2)(e) of the CPR states that the court must encourage the parties

Civil cases are when citizens are suspected of committing a crime, while criminal cases are when people with a criminal background are suspected of committing a crime. In a criminal case prosecutors look for undeniable proof in order to easily jail criminals. In civil courts, the goal of a lawyer is to find as much evidence as possible in favor of their position. People in civil courts are not necessarily criminals. They just want to win some money from the court case. There are no prosecutors or government lawyers in a civil court because people are just suing each other. There is a jury in criminal courts to decide whether or not the suspect is guilty or innocent.

Donna Driver unintentionally ran a red light, and caused a car accident with Vic Victim. Vic sustained severe injuries. Donna’s auto insurance policy with Gekko has liability coverage limit of $100,000.00. Vic’s medical bills alone run close to that, and there’s also his loss of work and pain & suffering to be taken into account. Vic wants to settle the entire case for $100,000.00, and Donna pleads with Gekko to do so since it is obvious that he could recover more than that based on the facts of this case. Gekko tells her that they will only offer $50,000.00, and if it’s not accepted, they will take their chances at trial.

     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.
