Abstract
Indian Courts are packed with cases pending from different Sectors, be it Civil cases or Criminal cases or newly evolved Cyber cases. In the new economy, where more and more transactions are completed in cyberspace, ADR seems natural. The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely unfortunate, and has necessitated change. In India, the judiciary has led the way in adopting technology solutions to keep the system accessible even while safety measures have altered the routines. ODR is often simplistically understood to mean e-ADR or ADR that is enabled through technology. ODR can help in not just dispute resolution but also in dispute containment, dispute avoidance and promotion of general legal health of the country. ODR has the potential to be an effective alternative that utilises technology to bridge barriers and access in resolution. Through facilitating low cost, remote, technology-augmented, linguistically- friendly, amicable and incentivised dispute avoidance, containment and resolution while adhering to principles of natural justice. In India there has been a rise in the number of ODR start-ups and businesses that are willing to experiment with ODR as an alternative to the traditional forms of dispute resolution.
