Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mediation involves the use of a neutral third-party mediator who assists the parties in negotiating a settlement. This differs from arbitration, which involves the parties submitting their dispute to a third-party arbitrator who makes a binding decision, and litigation, which involves resolving the dispute in court. Negotiation is a more general term that can refer to any attempt to reach an agreement between parties, with or without the assistance of a third party.
