Study Notes
Disadvantages of ADR
- Lack of court protection: ADR processes often lack the formal protections and safeguards of court proceedings.
- Lack of access to sufficient information: Parties in ADR may not have the same level of access to information as they would in a court setting.
- Risk of incurring double costs: The process of pursuing an ADR solution alongside the possibility of it not working or needing to be followed up with court proceedings can lead to costly overlapping expenses.
- Uncooperative parties: ADR relies on the cooperation of all parties involved; if either party is unwilling to engage or negotiate seriously, the process can fail.
- Danger of Prescription: In some jurisdictions or specific cases, a period of time might expire before a claim can be made (Prescription). ADR processes might not be completed within these parameters and consequently affect the claimant.
