In response to shifts in market demand, in recent years, some hybrid dispute resolution procedures, such as Med-Arb [Mediation-Arbitration]... have been developed.... Med-Arb... as the name suggests, is a hybrid dispute resolution mechanism that consists of a combination of mediation and arbitration. Typically... the parties agree that the process will begin as a private mediation and if they are unable to reach a mediated agreement in the end, the process shifts to arbitration.

  • Alternative Dispute Resolution
CONT

Mediation/arbitration, known as med/arb, is a hybrid process. An arbitrator is chosen, and if both parties agree, he will mediate the case first and then if that does not resolve the case, he will arbitrate the case and make a decision. The advantage is that the same person can mediate and arbitrate.

  • Alternative Dispute Resolution
  • Collective Agreements and Bargaining
CONT

If a collective agreement cannot be achieved through negotiations, with or without the assistance of a mediator, voluntary interest arbitration can be considered. This option is available at any time during the collective bargaining negotiation process. This applies to any kind of bargaining, public or private sector, whether the right to strike/lockout exists, whether there are significant differences between the parties, and whether a dispute strike/lockout is imminent or underway. Both parties must agree to this process. Arbitration is binding. This means the parties must abide by, and live with the arbitration decision.

Subject field(s)
  • International Law
CONT

In International Law, equity may be considered a secondary source, and by Article 38(2) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, referring to Article 38(1), «This provision shall not prejudice the power of the court to decide a case ex aequo et bono, if the parties agree thereto». Though the Court has thus not been expressly authorized to apply equity as distinguished from law, Article 38(1) c) expressly directs the application of «general principles of law recognized by civilized nations»... and in several States, as noted above, principles of equity have an established place in their municipal legal systems. No doubt the international judge can decide according to principles of equity in absence of rules of positive law, but it is doubtful whether he can decide «contra legem», i. e. contrary to such rules when they exist.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit international
CONT

En Droit International, l'équité peut être considérée comme une source secondaire et, selon l'Article 38(2) du Statut de la Cour Internationale de Justice qui renvoie à l'Article 38(1), «la présente disposition ne porte pas atteinte à la faculté pour la Cour, si les parties sont d'accord, de statuer ex æquo et bono». Bien que la cour ne soit pas ainsi expressément autorisée à appliquer le principe d'équité, tel qu'il est conçu distinct du droit, l'Article 38(1) c) met la Cour dans l'obligation d'appliquer «les principes généraux de droit reconnus par les nations civilisées» [...] et dans plusieurs États, comme mentionné plus haut, les principes d'équité ont une place bien établie dans les systèmes de droit national. Il ne fait aucun doute que le juge international peut trancher suivant le principe de l'équité en l'absence de règles de droit positif, mais il est moins sûr qu'il puisse décider «contra legem», i.e. contrairement aux règles de droit quand elles existent.

The adjudication of differences between States by a tribunal through the application of orderly methods of procedure.

It is frequently resorted to [international arbitration] after other peaceful methods of settlement have failed.

OBS

Arbitration differs from conciliation, enquiry and mediation in that the "award" of the arbitrator is final and binding on the parties to the dispute.... Arbitration differs from judicial settlement in that the parties to an arbitration are left free to choose the members of the tribunal, to define the dispute, and, if they so agree, to lay down in advance the rules, principles or legal system that shall be applied. The distinctions in the terminology... are not always followed in the practice of States.

The American Arbitration Association(AAA) is one of several arbitration organizations that administers arbitration of disputes brought to it by members of the public. The AAA also administers mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Many contracts include an arbitration clause naming the AAA as the organization that will administer an arbitration between the parties. The AAA does not itself arbitrate disputes, but provides administrative support to arbitrations before a single arbitrator or a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitrators are chosen in accordance with the parties’ agreement or, if the parties do not agree otherwise, in accordance with the AAA rules.
