Disputes Resolution
Company Formed
A new company, Commercial
Dispute Resolution Limited (CDRL),
has recently launched its services.
The company intends to offer Al-
ternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
to parties between whom disputes
have arisen primarily due to non-
performance of a contract, or the
perception of non-performance.
The approach of ADR is to
endeavour to reach a solution that
is mutually acceptable to the
parties in disputa An independent
"neutral" assists the disputants to
find a formula for settlement. One
of the key requirements is that the
" neu t r a l" should endeavour to
keep the parties in dialogue until a
settlement is reached. In some
cases, the independent " neu t r a l"
will formulate recommendations
for consideration by the parties, in
others s/he might act as chair-
person in any negotiations that may
take placa The company says that
its service is intended to provide a
speedy and cost effective alter-
native to formal legal proceedings,
and that it envisages that the main
source of its referrals will be from
solicitors.
The Chairman of the company
is
Jamas J. Ivors,
former Director
General of the Law Society.
