Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Mediation, Arbitration, Expert Determination 조정 Mediation: an informal procedure in which a neutral intermediary, the mediator, assists the parties in reaching a settlement of their dispute, based on the parties’ respective interests. The mediator cannot impose a decision. The settlement agreement has the force of a contract. 중재 Arbitration: a procedure in which the parties submit their dispute to one or more chosen arbitrators, for a binding and final decision (award) based on the parties’ respective rights and obligations and enforceable as an award under arbitral law. Arbitration constitutes an alternative to court litigation. 전문가 결정 Expert Determination: a procedure in which the parties submit a specific matter (e.g. technical question) to one or more experts who make a determination on the matter, which can be binding unless the parties have agreed otherwise.
