Arbitration is a way that people or companies can resolve disputes instead of going through a traditional court system.
Tribunal” is another way of referring to the arbitrator (or arbitrators) appointed to decide a dispute. Where three or more arbitrators are appointed, the arbitrator in charge of the panel of arbitrators, and often the day-to-day running of the arbitration, is called the “chair” or “presiding arbitrator”.
Alternative dispute resolution, or “ADR”, is what lawyers call a variety of different methods for resolving disputes that are non-binding – meaning that the parties are not required to comply with the outcomes (unlike arbitration or litigation).
Mediation is perhaps the most common form of ADR. It involves a “mediator” sitting with the parties to help them to work together and resolve the dispute themselves. A mediator does not impose an outcome like an arbitrator or a judge does. Instead, the mediator helps the parties to agree an outcome.
Often, parties will try to use ADR to avoid needing to go to arbitration or litigation. If ADR doesn’t work because the parties can’t agree on a solution to the dispute, they will then go to arbitration or to court, and have an arbitrator or judge resolve the dispute for them.
