Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that before any court case there should be compulsory use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. This often happens before the start of a trial but should happen before the issuing of any court proceedings. We recommend that the Government consult on the format of alternative dispute resolution and whether it should include mediation or be structured around an inquisitorial, ombudsman-style process.
