Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an alternative to litigation (i.e. Legal and Court System). The most common type of ADR process is mediation.
Mediation is a process in which a mediator assists disputing parties in reaching their own settlement. Mediators do not give advice; do not decide who is right or wrong; and do not take sides. The entire process is strictly confidential and voluntary. Parties to mediation are at liberty to withdraw from the process at any time. Mediation sessions are conducted within the laws of the land.
CAB is an ADR body for the Ismaili community, where as long as one party to the dispute is an Ismaili Muslim and all parties are prepared to submit to the Board’s authority, CAB can assist with the resolution of the dispute.
