The K-Zone: alternative dispute resolution
Procedures for resolving legal conflicts between parties outside
of the traditional court setting. ADR includes such processes
as arbitration, mediation, and conciliation. The
CivilProcedureRules envisage an expanded role for
ADR, and parties appearing in court have been penalised in costs
for failing to take ADR seriously.
