Essay question “Getting the relationship between courts and ADR right is itself an important challenge for us all. It is neither feasible nor desirable for ADR to take over all the functions of courts any more than it is for ADR to imitate slavishly the procedures that courts observe. The great challenge that lies ahead is ensuring a correct and evolving relationship between ADR and the curial process. This is unlikely to be static. The success of ADR practices, like the success of the courts, will necessarily depend upon the integrity, skills and training of the personnel involved”.
