The duties of fairness and impartiality in non-judicial justice

The article suggests that while there are differences between typical judicial justice procedures and the alternative dispute resolution procedures that may require a different application of principles, the core concept remains unchanged. The principles of judicial independence, impartiality, and the value of fairness apply to both with proper adjustments. The article also proposes that in view of the increase in online dispute resolution procedures (ODR), a new approach must be introduced to ensure fairness in online justice, following the model of impartiality and decisional independence that is now accepted for administrative adjudicators.
