Law I / Resolving Disputes
Practice question · Sort into groups

Sort each route by the way it resolves a dispute.

Groups: Autocomposition · Heterocomposition · Prohibited self-help

Hints
  1. Ask in each case who actually makes the decision that ends the dispute.
  2. A third party who only facilitates does not make the route heterocompositive.
Show the answer

Autocomposition: Direct negotiation, Mediated agreement

Heterocomposition: Binding arbitration, Court judgment

Prohibited self-help: Forced goods seizure, Self-help lock eviction

Why

The mediator is the item that decides whether you have understood the distinction. A third person is present, active and often decisive in practice, and still the parties are the ones who decide, which puts mediation in the first column beside plain negotiation rather than beside arbitration.
