ACCESS TO JUSTICE THROUGH THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Downloads
Abstract
In the times of crises, an individual tends to approach the authorities who can resolve his matter. It may be to address his grievance or to defend himself. When in such situation, lengthy and complicated procedures tend to increase the trouble he or she is facing. Considering the same scenario in adjudication or Alternative Dispute Resolution, access to justice becomes strenuous. It becomes even more difficult with the increasing expenses and delay in resolving the matter. The entire purpose of access to justice is defeating as the aim to reach to the solution entangles the individual with additional burden of complexity of procedures, time and investment of money.
The aim of the paper is to look into the meaning of access to justice and the approach towards its legal system for dispute resolution. This takes place by considering the socio-economic background, financial capabilities and the investment of time that the individual can invest to put forth the dispute in the court of law. The capacity and capability of the individual to approach any form of dispute resolution would result in that person getting access to justice. In this essay, the efficiency of ADR mechanisms is being looked into by focusing on three parameters i.e. procedure involved, cost and time.
