What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?

Alternative dispute resolution is the possibility that all consumers have at their disposal and official entities to assist them in resolving or guiding some conflict before opening litigation in the Courts. As a general rule, the procedure is as follows: the customer asks an impartial third party to act as an intermediary between himself and the trader who is the subject of his complaint. The intermediary can suggest a solution to your complaint, impose a solution on both sides, or bring the parties together to find a solution.
You may know the concept of alternative dispute resolution by another name: 'mediation', 'conciliation', 'arbitration' or 'competent committee in consumer disputes'.
Alternative dispute resolution is, as a rule, less costly, less formal and faster than court proceedings.
