Re: Disputes between an individual & a private company

There is no way to give you a definitive answer. Litigation is generally more expensive but the result may be better and you can always appeal if you have sufficient legal grounds. ADR is generally less costly and you cannot appeal so you get stuck with whatever decision the arbitrator makes. Without knowing more about your situation, it is impossible to give you any more guidance. Good luck.
