What does OADR mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Office for Alternative Dispute Resolution (OADR) is a service operated by the Ministry of Justice which helps people resolve their disputes out of court. OADR provides independent and impartial advice, and facilitates agreements between parties in conflict. It also helps to identify potential solutions that each party may agree to in order to reach an amicable resolution.

The ADR process usually begins with both parties agreeing to take part in an alternative dispute resolution process facilitated by a neutral third-party. This may involve mediation or arbitration, depending on the nature of the dispute. The ADR service then works with the parties to provide them with information and guidance, as well as helping them to develop an effective plan for resolving the dispute.

OADR services are available to individuals, companies, organizations, and other entities who are involved in a conflict or dispute that cannot be resolved through informal negotiations alone.

Depending on the nature of your dispute and how long it takes to resolve it, you may be required to pay a fee for using OADR services. This fee varies according to your circumstances but is always kept at a reasonable amount so as not be unaffordable for those who require our assistance.

OADR primarily focuses on resolving civil disputes such as those related to debt collection, housing issues, contracts, commercial transactions and more – but can be used in many other cases too.
