Hello, just need a bit of help on answering this question.....its worth 3 marks....
Daniel has issued proceedings against Jessica in the County Court. Jessica has been informed that a jury will hear the case.
Identify and describe one dispute resolution method a court could use to resolve Jessica and Daniel’s dispute.
Thanks heaps....
If I were answering that question, I'd probably talk about judicial determination or mediation (although there might be other options too). But anyway, I'd probably answer it like:
- Identify method (judicial determination or mediation).
- Description of method, so basically what it is (like a definition and what it entails), and maybe a brief discussion of the role of the third-party in the method.
- Use by the courts (so how the court would use the method - so it may refer the matter to mediation before setting a hearing date; or it may judicially determine the case (in the presence of a jury) by hearing the evidence, submissions, etc. before giving a legally binding decision.
*And whilst answering the question, make use of the person's names and refer to the example. E.g. "the court may use.... to resolve x and y person's dispute." And specifically refer to the county court, as this is the court identified in the example
Hope this helps!
