DRG - Government & Business / Dispute Resolution Commitment
The Dispute Resolution Guidance (DRG) is aimed at encouraging the increased use of flexible, creative and constructive approaches to dispute resolution. The DRG offers the opportunity for government and businesses to demonstrate a best practice approach to business, and in particular, how disputes are resolved without resorting to costly litigation. It allows government and business to demonstrate a clear commitment to having in place mechanisms to avoid disputes, where possible; and, when disputes cannot be avoided, a commitment to quickly and effectively manage and resolve them utilising the most appropriate dispute resolution mechanism/s. |
