Home Legal Dictionary Dispute Resolution

Dispute Resolution

Dispute resolution definition (noun)

  1. Dispute resolution is the process of settling disagreements between parties. There are three basic types of dispute resolution: mediation, arbitration, and litigation.

    • Mediation is where a neutral third party helps the disputing parties reach a solution on their own.
    • Arbitration is when a neutral third party acts as a judge who listens to arguments and evidence, then makes a legally binding decision for the parties.
    • Litigation is when the dispute reaches a courtroom where a defendant argues against a plaintiff in front of a judge or judge and jury.
