B-READY: Dispute Resolution Pillar 1: Quality of Regulations for Dispute Resolution

B-READY focuses on ten topics that are organized following the life cycle of the firm and its participation in the market while opening, operating (or expanding), and closing (or reorganizing) a business. The Dispute Resolution topic measures efficiency and quality of the resolution of commercial disputes—those arising in the business context between firms—across three different dimensions, or pillars. The first pillar assesses the adequacy of legislation pertaining to both court processes and alternative dispute resolution (ADR), covering de jure features that are necessary for the efficient processing of cases, facilitated resolution of cross-border claims, creating alternative venues for settling disputes, and ensuring trust in relevant institutions.
