Bespoke Dispute Resolution
  1. Dispute resolution is a critical part of a transaction platform and the core of the legal function. It is the equivalent of error handling. A good dispute resolution solution makes things upstream work better.
  2. It's core function is to apply human judgment to a situation that was unanticipated.
  3. To be effective, a dispute resolution system must be able to get to a decision on the merits rapidly and cheaply. It should be alert to manipulation.
  4. If parties can plan efficiently and there is a mechanism for aggregating experience, then the dispute resolution process can be shaped by experience, following and forking at the planning layer.
  5. Disputes can be reduced in number and difficulty of resolution by:
    1. Clarifying the deal that the parties have agreed (layer one);
    2. Promptness of declaring the difficulty; and
    3. Evidence that is immediately available and relatively uncluttered.
