Dispute Resolution and ADR: quizzes, mind maps and notes

This page is about the ways disputes get settled, inside and outside court. Most of the material is mind maps. The Alternative Dispute Resolutions map sets out arbitration, mediation, conciliation and negotiation, and notes that conciliation is commonly used in industrial disputes, with ACAS as the example. The map on the advantages and disadvantages of ADR looks at speed, formality and stress compared with ordinary courts.

Where to start

Begin with a broad overview, then narrow down.

Open the Mediation mind map. It covers why parties may choose it: control, lower cost, privacy and a win/win outcome.
Move to the Arbitration map, which looks at challenges under the Arbitration Act 1996, including correcting an award.
Look at the Dispute Resolution (FLK1) map for appeals and enforcement in the County Court.

Using quizzes, flashcards and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. The flashcard deck called Dispute Resolution asks questions such as what the three types of ADR are, what arbitration is and what the penalties are for unreasonably refusing to engage in ADR. The Mediation Exam deck draws on the NADRAC Guide, covering the aims of ADR and its main types. When a card stumps you, go back to the matching map and look at that branch again.

Quizzes are fewer, but they are useful for a quick check. Try the ADR quiz or the ADR MCQ once you have read a map or two. Notes such as the one with an exam-style essay on ADR help when you need to see how an answer is written.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps cover the main methods of dispute resolution, their advantages and disadvantages, and comparisons such as mediation versus litigation and arbitration versus litigation. Others look at the role of the mediator, an arbitration flowchart, challenges under the Arbitration Act 1996 and appeals in the civil courts.
