Topic of the proposal
Appropriateness of Alternative dispute resolution in Civil procedure
Coherence of the proposal
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is one of the most effective procedures for settling any
disputes outside the courtroom through methods like arbitration, meditation, or even negotiation.
In spite of various benefits associated with ADR, it faced with many challenges in UK and ADR
came out to be nothing but an empty promise. After few observations and analysis, it was found
that the reason for the failure of ADR was the way its process was implemented. Many UK based
companies feel ADR is more of baggage in terms of discovery, dispositions, lawyers and damage
(Nolan-Haley, 2013).
Considering the above-mentioned issue with ADR in UK, the reason of undertaking this topic for
accomplishing this proposal, is due to the fact that, the findings of the proposal and the research
would help in identifying both the aspects of ADR i.e. its effective and areas in which it is
lagging behind. Most importantly, the findings from it would help in assisting the English legal
system.

contributing to its failure. One of such widespread belief being ADR is not suitable for personal
injury cases (hbr.org, 2019).
Thus, it is one of the major reasons for the researcher to conduct this research on the part of the
researcher. This research would turn out to be beneficial for identifying the reason hindering the
effectively implementation of ADR and the ways of mitigating it. The gather information from
