Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes a process of resolving a dispute outside of court, with the parties submitting to a third party who makes a binding decision. This is characteristic of arbitration, where the parties agree to have an arbitrator decide their case instead of going to trial. Litigation refers to a formal lawsuit process that typically involves going to court, and mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating negotiations between the parties to reach a mutually agreeable solution. Negotiation refers to the process of the parties directly discussing and trying to settle their dispute without third-party involvement.
