Book excerpt: Early neutral evaluation (ENE) is an expedited dispute resolution process that was developed in California 20 years ago, and can now be found in other countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Given their limited use in Canada, this report reviews the international literature on early neutral evaluation, compares the advantages and disadvantages of different models, and makes recommendations about it possible use in Alberta. The report finds that expedited dispute resolution promotes settlement and save litigants time, money and emotional stress, provides a useful reality check for litigants and lawyers alike, improves communication between litigants, and clarifies the issues in dispute, with high satisfaction rates.
