Dispute Resolution
Dispute resolution or alternative resolution dispute refers to the process of resolving conflicts or disputes between two or more parties. There are a variety of methods that can be used to resolve disputes, including alternative DR (ADR) methods such as arbitration, mediation, and negotiation, as well as the traditional legal system. In ADR, a neutral third party helps the parties to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution without going to court. ADR methods can be quicker, less formal, and less expensive than going to court, and they can be used to resolve a wide range of disputes, including those related to business, employment, family, and consumer issues.
Settled Status in the UK refers to the immigration status granted to eligible EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens, as well as their family members, who were living in the UK before the end of the Brexit transition period (December 31, 2020). It allows individuals to continue living and working in the UK without any immigration restrictions. Settled Status is part of the UK government’s EU Settlement Scheme, which was introduced to protect the rights of EU citizens and their family members residing in the UK after Brexit. Once granted Settled Status, individuals are granted the right to stay indefinitely in the UK and enjoy various benefits and services.
Indefinite Leave to Remain
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK is an immigration status that grants an individual the right to live and work in the country without any time restrictions. ILR is also known as settlement or permanent residency. It allows individuals to stay in the UK for an indefinite period and provides them with a wide range of benefits, such as access to public funds, healthcare, and education.
A spouse visa in the UK, also known as a spouse visa / partner visa, is a type of visa that allows an individual to join their spouse or partner who is a British citizen or settled person in the UK. This visa category falls under the Family route of the UK immigration system.

Legal dispute resolution methods
There are several legal methods, including litigation, arbitration, mediation, and negotiation.
Litigation involves bringing a legal claim to court and having a judge or jury decide the outcome of the dispute.
Arbitration is a process in which a neutral third party, typically an arbitrator, hears evidence and arguments from both sides and makes a decision that is binding on the parties.
Mediation involves a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitating negotiations between the parties to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
Negotiation is a process in which the parties involved in a alternative resolution dispute try to reach a mutually acceptable resolution without the involvement of a third party.
