Overview
The module will examine how various forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) allow parties to resolve conflicts
separate from litigation proceedings within state run court systems, as well as provide students first-hand knowledge
of the key issues, principles, rules, procedures and parties involved in ADR. In both the national and international
business context, parties seek ADR as a preferable because of the speedier, more predictable and less costly results
compared to litigation. ADR aspects will include inclusion of mediation, conciliation, expert determination and
arbitration both within the International community and in the UK.
Assessment: Essay (1000 words) (25%) ; Exam (75%).
