Beskrivning
This is the first systematic comparative study into how consumer ADR systems (usually ombudsmen and médiateurs) work, the differing national architectures within which they operate and how they can be improved. It describes ADR schemes in Belgium, France, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom as well as emerging pan-EU dispute resolution schemes. Use of the techniques of mediation, conciliation and adjudication are noted. It also covers EU measures on consumer ADR, and 2011 proposals for legislation on ADR and ODR. Data on volumes, cost and duration of ADR schemes are compared, both between different systems and with courts. The authors' findings underpin EU and national developments, and outline options for future policy. Findings and proposals are included for the functions, scope, performance, essential requirements, architecture and operation of ADR systems. The relationships between ADR, courts and regulators are discussed, and need for reforms are noted. This is a ground-breaking work that will have a major impact on European legal systems.This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.

This is about the first systematic comparative study of the operational framework of the systems for resolving consumer disputes of the different national legislative options along with proposals for their improvement. Great advantage of the publication is the collection of statistical data on the cost and duration for conducting the extrajudicial procedures. Furthermore, publishers' contribution is important in the formation of the conclusions on the national recommendations, by dedicating two special chapters, which include the empirical and other research findings (chapter 14-15, pp. 367 ff). Lastly, the list of persons who gave answers to the specific questionnaire composed for the study creates positive impression (p. xxi ff).The extra judicial resolution of consumer dispute constitutes theoretically the appropriate answer to the somber and depressing landscape of civil justice, which discourages the citizens from pursuing a judicial resolution of their dispute. The recording and the information offered by the present volume provide the possibility of information concerning the developments in the EU landscape. We all hope that the theoretical process will bear fruits also in practice.
