Easy Guide to ODR — Mediation (India)
What is Online Dispute Resolution – Mediation?
ODR is a digital-first method for resolving disputes efficiently, cost-effectively and confidentially, without physical court hearings.
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral mediator helps parties reach a mutually acceptable settlement without deciding who is right or wrong. It focuses on interests and practical solutions rather than rigid legal positions.
The Mediation Act, 2023
A duly executed Mediation Settlement Agreement (MSA) becomes final, binding and enforceable like a court decree — with limited grounds to challenge (fraud or impersonation).
