Humans cannot avoid from facing various trials, problems misunderstandings and disputes while carrying on with daily lives. In resolving a dispute, the disputants need to be provided the best redress avenues for the dispute resolution. This may include the option of having various choices of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Each ADR mechanisms must be closely matched to the disputes brought and the governing parameters need to be established due to the presence of a variety of mechanisms. The paper aims to analyse the question of compatibility between the setting and the matching of ADR mechanism, and the disputes involved. The literature highlights the opinions and views of researchers who have raised the topic and issues in the study and in relation to questions of this article. Hence, the analysis used was based on the content analysis especially previous academic studies conducted based on four (4) questions as follows: Q1 - Who is responsible for resolving disputes? Q2 - What is the main source of the establishing of levels and standard solutions? Q3 - How are the disputing parties represented? Q4 - What is the nature of the situation and to what extent can the discovery of facts and standard discovery is taken in this scenario? The paper will discuss the related issues by focusing on some forms of ADR. The findings of the study show that the answers to these questions are available in various forms, and the obvious possibilities are the differences of opinion that exist as result of the existence of different mechanisms. Ultimately, the final decision garnered must lead to actual ADR values that are required.
