Speed, cost-effectiveness, and confidentiality are genuine advantages of ADR over traditional litigation. However, 'always resulting in binding decisions' is incorrect because not all ADR methods are binding. Mediation and conciliation are fundamentally consensual — no binding outcome emerges unless both parties agree. Only arbitration produces binding awards (enforceable as decrees under S.36). Lok Adalat awards are binding but only with consent. This distinction is a frequently tested AIBE concept.
