Why is it Urgent to Develop Alternative Dispute Resolution in Uzbekistan?

Abstract

Judicial system in Uzbekistan is based on Roman law system. Unlike common law system, in common law system the form of published judicial opinions is of primary importance, in Roman law countries codes, laws are predominant to set the legal framework in the country. That is because in Uzbekistan litigation has been the only method to resolve disputes between people. However, in the 21th century disputes are far more to settle in comparison with the previous centuries thanks to the growth of business. It is a well – known fact that nowadays, economical courts are clogged with various cases and the courts are becoming unable to solve the disputes effectively and in a limited time as the disputes continue to increase day by day. Evidently, now is the time to develop ADR in Uzbekistan to maintain the efficiency of courts and to discuss even small matters for effective resolution. Alternative Dispute Resolution can be beneficial to solve dispute matters quickly with small costs between parties, that is why parties, clearly businesses feel satisfied with ADR’s quick solutions to their various problems.  Nowadays in Uzbekistan, businesses are growing faster than ever before and they need quicker, cheaper methods than courts to actively engage and solve their conflicts effectively. In this case ADR would be the best method for dispute resolution. Because ADR is not as rigid as courts, since ADR can be adjusted under the will of parties, clearly in ADR parties’ will is crucial and ADR processes can be commenced with parties’ will to solve their disputes by ADR.
