Alternative processes can result in dramatically different outcomes. The considerations for selecting and implementing an alternative dispute resolution process are almost as wide and varied as the disputes to which they relate.
It is critical for parties to:
- select the most appropriate process
- structure that process in the most advantageous way
- implement the agreed process in the most effective way.
- the complexity and fundamental importance of the different considerations and their inter-dependencies
- the matter and extent to which the relevance and significance of those considerations will differ or shift, depending on such variables as the timing, parties, facts, evidence and issues
- the matter and extent to which each step taken will influence the future dynamic and ultimate outcome of the process.
