ADR are optional dispute resolution proceedings and methods as compared to proceedings before State Courts. ADR aims simpler and faster resolution of the disputes without impairing the judicial sovereignty of the state.The main difference between proceedings before State Courts and the ADR is that ADR as a rule is not binding for the parties so concerned unless otherwise decided by the same.The procedures in ADR are not limited in number and type; each country may choose a method of ADR or create ADR method by taking their social and economic circumstances and facts into consideration. ADR are allowed in Turkish Legal System unless they do not contradict with the Turkish Public Order.
