Intileo Welfare Foundation’s ODR platform provides a cutting-edge solution for dispute resolution, aligning with global trends towards digital justice and providing parties with efficient, secure, and effective legal remedies.
- Functionality: Intileo Welfare Foundation’s ODR platform harnesses state-of-the-art technology to provide a comprehensive, fully integrated online environment for resolving disputes. This innovative platform facilitates negotiation, mediation, and arbitration remotely, removing the need for in-person appearances and physical documentation. It is designed to handle a wide range of cases, from simple contractual disputes to more complex commercial conflicts.
- Services Under ODR:
- Negotiation: This initial stage allows parties to communicate directly with each other in a structured online environment to discuss the issues at hand and attempt to reach an agreement independently. This stage is facilitated by tools that allow for the exchange of messages, documents, and direct communication.
- Mediation: Should negotiation not result in a resolution, a certified mediator from Intileo Welfare Foundation can be appointed to assist the parties. The mediator facilitates the discussions, helping parties explore potential solutions and understand each other’s viewpoints without imposing a decision.
- Arbitration: As a final step, if mediation does not lead to a settlement, the dispute can be moved to arbitration. Here, a neutral arbitrator (or panel) reviews the evidence and makes a legally binding decision. The process is similar to a court trial but is conducted entirely online, with opportunities for both written submissions and virtual hearings.
