the work place without any notice than it is called as unlawful.
The another case implies that Den was not libel to claim the insurance as he was not at
aware of the plans that were mentioned in the policies.

P6 (a)
The systems of alternate conflict resolutions are adopted by firms in order to resolve the
conflicts from work places. This is valuable as the cases are solved with the help of shareholders,
suppliers and traders. There is focus of government authorities in order to develop ADR systems
to solve conflicts (Kochan, 2011). Negotiations are useful in solving the problems by developing
effective ideas in order to resolve them.

According to the case of Tyrell and Antwon they were facing the problems from long times but
were unsuccessful in finding out appropriate solution. They can apply ADR in order to solve the
conflicts which is destroying their friendship.
