hard:
okay well the Magistrates court does NOT use ADR's in civil disputes unless the claim for damages is less that $10,000.

ADR's cannot be used in criminal matters. Criminal cases are always heard by a magistrate.

xox.happy1.xox:
Aren't ADR's heard out of the courts entirely? It is only when the value of damages exceeds $10,000 that disputes need to be resorted to the courts.

costargh:
Arbitration is used by the Magistrates court for civil cases where damages being sought are less than 10k from memory

hard:
^ costargh is right, which is what i said, the magistrates court USE arbitration if the claim is under 10 thousand. It isn't apart of the court, however the magistrates court will use the method.
