What is Administered ADR?
Like arbitration, ADR may also be administered. In such a case, the institution will have formal procedures and rules designed to assist parties. The institution chosen may administer the arbitration according to its own rules or, in some cases, according to other rules if requested.
Examples of the Advantages of Administered ADR:
- Availability of pre-established arbitration rules and procedures;
- Administrative assistance from institutions with a secretariat;
- Appointment of neutrals by the institution if the parties request it;
- Physical facilities and support services for ADR proceedings;
- An established format that has proven workable in prior disputes.
ADR Institutions
Numerous arbitration institutions, such as the ICC, the ICDR, or the LCIA have specific rules and model clauses for ADR.
Common and renowned institutions are:
- The ICC;
- The ICDR;

- The Mediation Centre of Cameroun
