In a rapidly developing society, human needs are bound to multiply, creating a conflict of interest. People become more aware of their individual rights and litigation becomes an unavoidable part of their lives due to the surge in disputes between them. The problem is further complicated when there is a lack of discipline in the litigation process and the judicial mechanism has difficulties in dealing with the enormous number of cases. Particularly in a technologically and economically well-advanced modern society, litigation is a primary means of resolving disputes. When it fails to meet people’s needs, the need to seek new alternative dispute resolution methods is evident. It is in this context that alternative dispute resolution modes have gained primacy in the present times.
