FAQs


What is VCDR?

Vidhikarya Centre for Dispute Resolution (VCDR) is a mechanism to settle disputes of the people when they approach VCDR and the disputes are settled without going to the court. VCDR conducts dispute settlement in both online mode (ODR) as well as offline/physical mode.

What is ODR?

Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is a voluntary confidential process through which people with a dispute communicate online to resolve a dispute.

How disputes are resolved?

VCDR at the request of the Party(s) engages a trained, impartial third person called a neutral ODR Facilitator, who helps the parties to define issues, explore options, and reach a solution that both parties are willing to accept.

Is VCDR similar to Court?

No VCDR is not similar to the Court and its process is not same as a court hearing and it is not a process to determine guilt or innocence.

Is VCDR confidential?

Yes. The whole process of the VCDR is confidential and only allowed information are shared with the consent of the parties.

What does the neutral VCDR Facilitator/Presiding Officer do?

The neutral VCDR Facilitator is a highly skilled person like a Lawyer, retired Judge or a senior official from a corporate who assists both disputing parties to resolve their differences. The facilitator will consider both sides of the story and ask questions about what happened in order to get the facts. The facilitator acts as a catalyst, enabling agreement between the parties and assisting in developing a mutually acceptable written agreement specifically outlining the terms of the resolution.

Can I engage an Advocate to represent my case in VCDR?

No. You cannot engage an Advocate to represent your case in VCDR. Only the parties are allowed to participate in VCDR.

What should I do before I start VCDR?

1. Before initiating the Vidhikarya Centre Dispute Resolution process, think about possible compromises or solutions to the dispute.
2. Decide what you want from the other person and what you would be willing to give in return (mutual compromises).

What if we don’t reach an agreement?

If you do not reach an agreement, then the VCDR process will stand dismissed but usually it does not happen that way. In most the cases the outcome is arrived by the parties to settle the matter.

What if the other party doesn’t follow through with the settlement agreement?

Since the VCDR outcomes are legally enforceable that means when the matter goes to court in future either by you or the other party, the VCDR outcome/award/MoU will be an important evidence to win the case.
