Arbitrator
Arbitration is a process for the settlement of disputes in which an independent and impartial arbitrator makes a decision after considering the representations of the parties.
The decision is normally final and binding on the parties.
Mediator
Mediation is a process where a neutral facilitator assists parties in clarifying issues, engaging in negotiations, and reaching resolutions.
Mediation is a confidential and consensual dispute resolution process.
Adjudicator
Adjudication is used for resolving building and construction disputes, offering a unique, fast, and relatively straightforward statutory process for resolving disputes that arise under construction contracts.
