Whether the ‘A’ stands for ‘appropriate’, ‘amicable’, or ‘alternative’, all out of court dispute resolution modes, collected under the banner term ‘ADR’ , aim to assist the business world in overcoming relational differences in a truly manageable way.

The first edition of this book (2006) contributed to a global awareness that ADR is important in its own right, and not simply as a substitute for litigation or arbitration. Now, drawing on a wealth of new sources and developments, including the flourishing of hybrid forms of ADR, the subject matter has been largely augmented and expanded on two fronts: in-depth analysis (both descriptive and comparative) of methodology, expectations and outcomes and extended geographical coverage across all continents.

ADR in Business: Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, Volume II covers twenty-nine ‘intertwined but variegated’ essays (to use the editor’s characterization) that provide substantial insight in such specific topics as:

• ADR’s flexible procedures as controlled by the parties
• ADR’s facilitation of the continuation of relations between the parties
• Privilege and confidentiality
• Involvement of non-legal professionals
• The identity and the role of the ‘neutral’ as well as the role of the arbitrator
• The implementation of ICC and other international ADR rules
• The workings of Dispute Boards and
• The role of ADR in securing investment and other specific objectives

In its compound thesis – growing in relevance every day – that numerous dispute resolution methods exist whose goals and developments are varied but fundamentally complementary, the multifaceted approach presented here is of immeasurable value to any business party, particularly at the international level.

Practitioners faced with drafting a dispute resolution clause in a contract, or dealing with a dispute that has arisen, will find expert guidance here, and academics will expand their awareness of the issues raised by ADR, in particular as it relates to arbitration. A broad cross section of interested professionals will discover ample material for comparative study of how disputes are approached and resolved in numerous countries and cultures.

About the Book

“A healthy society maximizes the opportunities for each individual to achieve self-worth while minimizing the conflict that inevitably arises when people are at cross-purposes.”

The landscape of accommodation in the Canadian workplace is ever-changing. Due to the sensitive but crucial nature of this content, employers, HR managers, and legal practitioners, need to adapt effective best practices on how to best meet their duty to accommodate.

This book includes a free eBook and webinar hosted by Jamie Knight.  

Many questions arise from “grey areas” not addressed explicitly in the law, or are so current, they are not yet fully addressed in case law. This resource provides answers to these emerging accommodation questions, particularly addressing: 

• mental health,
• religion, 
• addiction, 
• family issues (elderly parents, ill family members), and 
• other groups commonly subjected to discrimination harassment or bullying based on sexual orientation, sexual identification, gender, age, etc. 

This book will focus on the expectations employers need to strive for when accommodating job applicants, employees and third parties. It addresses essential information on best practices, case law, uncertainties, and undue hardship. Also included is an expansive Q&A section, based on real experiences.

Ultimately, this publication will provide professionals with practical, on-point information so that they can move forward with confidence in terms of how to accom
