Bitartu Services
Bitartu Orientates
Complementary conflict resolution is the term used to describe the methods, outside of judicial processes, that can be used to help resolve conflicts that arise in any cooperative coexistence.
Bitartu makes available to cooperatives and cooperative members the guidance service, for the complementary resolution of conflicts through which the legal adviser will assist you.
Bitartu Reconciles
Conciliation is a non-adversarial mechanism for resolving the dispute, through which an agreement is sought in an appearance before Bitartu, who may even propose the agreement itself. In conciliation proceedings, Bitartu will act as a third party.
The consensus in the solution of the conflict is resolved by the parties before this third party.
Bitartu Mediates
Mediation is an assisted negotiation system, whereby the parties involved in a conflict try to resolve the dispute themselves with the help of Bitartu who acts as a facilitator and conduit of communication.
In mediation procedures, the conflicting parties resolve their differences by reaching an agreement themselves with the help of a neutral third party: the mediator. Bitartu will facilitate the choice of the professional for mediation.
Bitartu Arbitrates
In arbitration as an out-of-court conflict resolution tool, the parties submit to a regulated procedure and entrust Bitartu with the appointment of an arbitrator who will adopt a binding decision for both parties applying law or equity, thus ending the dispute controversy. In arbitration proceedings, the parties agree to submit to the decision of a third party who acts as arbitrator
and is appointed by the Euskadi Higher Council of Cooperatives.
