What are the advantages and disadvantages of using litigation instead of a alternative dispute resolution ADR or mediation process?

In: Business & Finance, Civil Cases, Contract Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

Advantage: Usually involves a less lengthy outcome and the accompanying expense of litigation before the court.
Disadvantage: The "resolution" arrived at during such a process requires the agreement and cooperation of BOTH parties to the dispute. The decision arrived at by the mediator is NOT a judgment of a court and cannot be upheld/enforced by force of law.
