Chapter 8: Enforcement
Regulatory references: 28 CFR 36.501-36.508.
III-8.6000 Alternative means of dispute resolution.
The ADA encourages the use of alternative means of dispute resolution,
including settlement negotiations, conciliation, facilitation, mediation,
factfinding, minitrials, and arbitration to resolve disputes, where appropriate
and to the extent authorized by law. In appropriate cases, these types of
procedures may be faster, more efficient, and less expensive than the judicial
and administrative procedures available under the ADA. Alternative means
of dispute resolution, however, are intended to supplement the procedures
provided in the ADA, not to replace them. Use of alternative procedures is
completely voluntary and must be agreed to by the parties involved.
