Abstract

 Mediation, as an alternative dispute resolution technique, has been rapidly getting a strong position in a daily usage as the most acceptable form for conflicting parties to come to a solution. Many European countries apply forms of mandatory use of mediation before initiating court proceedings in domestic jurisdictions, further promoting the alternative dispute resolution and increasing its affordability in the society. For the purpose to save own finances and time this alternative form of dispute resolution has many users among conflicting parties. Different states also think and work on more innovative forms of using mediation, which will make this process more important and usable. The article deals with mediation as an alternative dispute resolution and its innovative form – Online Dispute Resolution.
