Explanation:
The 3 alternative dispute resolution available are:
1. Mediation: this is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, ADR, it involves an arrangement, where by the third party, often a professional attorney, tried to settle issue ls between the two aggrieved parties. The third party is referred to as mediator, and his job is to carve out a settlement between the parties involved, such that they reach a settlement. However, the outcomes are not binding on the parties, and the parties may not even agree on the settlement that is being offered by the mediator.
2. Collaboration: this is also a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, whereby, the parties involved will hire attorney each to represent them, these attorneys will be the ones to negotiate on behalf of the aggrieved parties, then find a reasonable settlement. However, just like mediation, the outcome is not biding, and they may not even reach an agreement or settlement.
3. Arbitration: this is also a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, whereby, the two parties involved in the dispute, will make use of arbitrator, a neutral third party that will preside over the issue. Often times, the arbitrator assigned is someone who has the required experience or expertise in the subject matter of dispute, hence, he understands the intricacies and complexity of the issue. Whether the outcome can be binding or not depends on the parties involved, as they have power before hand to agree on the nature of the arbitration before it starts. Also, outcome can sometimes be appealed if it does not favour any of the parties.
It is more closer to actual litigation, and mostly used to resolve dispute of special subject matter.
Hene, from the explanations above, the best choice for the plaintiff is ARBITRATION, because
1. The Arbitrator will understand the context of disputes due to his experience and expertise on the subject of dispute.
2. The outcome can also be binding, hence, plaintiff will achieve the same outcome as in the litigation.
