Overview

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is now such a fundamental part of any litigation process that it may soon lose its moniker. The Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, has stated that: “There is nothing alternative about either mediation, early neutral evaluation, or judge led resolution” but instead it should be considered as part of a range of dispute resolution processes, which also include litigation. The Commercial Court now uses the term “Negotiated Dispute Resolution” in place of ADR.

ADR works. It saves legal costs and stress for people, companies and public bodies involved in disputes. Avoiding litigation is best. The Courts encourage parties with disputes to use ADR and are increasingly willing to penalise parties that don’t.

We at Deka Chambers are wholeheartedly committed to the use of ADR.

Deka Chambers barristers support, encourage and use ADR to help resolve disputes in a wide range of common law and commercial fields.

We are experienced as mediators, as neutral evaluators and of course as advocates.
