- When individuals need to resolve their disputes with other individuals, they
may often go not only to courts for trial but also to alternative methods of
dispute resolution (ADR). Drawing upon a few recent studies, this article
provides some economic explanation about why individuals make use of ADR
instead of trial and/or settlement. By examining what the social interest is in
ADR, it also provides a useful reference point by which one can evaluate the
ADR system the Environmental Dispute Adjustment Act has developed to cope
with complicated environmental disputes.
Part I begins with defining the characteristics of environmental disputes that
make environmental litigation less frequent. Due to the tendency of
under-litigation involving environmental disputes, ADR is particularly needed
for environmental disputes. An ADR system aiming at environmental disputes
needs to be designed so as to i) minimize the total cost of resolving disputes,
and simultaneously ii) to engage as many parties involved as possible and make
an ideal communication structure where the parties involved can provide each
other with the relevant information(Part II). Part III looks over the cost structure
of ADR. The dispute resolution costs of ADR consist of ADR-using
cost(operation cost) and misjudgment cost(error cost). To save the former, it
is necessary to trade off the latter. Accordingly, an ideal ADR system must be
such that the sum of both can be minimized. In general, ADR brings about less
operation costs than a trial before the courts. Therefore the success of ADR
depends upon how much it can minimize error costs. If one can design an ideal...
