Resolve with Respect!
SYSCO180’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform is designed to deliver a seamless, secure, and legally compliant digital framework for resolving disputes efficiently and transparently. The ODR process integrates institutional governance with advanced technology, ensuring procedural fairness, accessibility, and enforceable outcomes.
Security and data protection are fundamental to the integrity and credibility of SYSCO180’s institutional and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) framework. Recognising the sensitive and confidential nature of dispute resolution proceedings, SYSCO180 has implemented robust technical, administrative, and legal safeguards to protect all data and communications.
SYSCO180’s digital platforms are designed with secure access controls, user authentication mechanisms, and role-based permissions to ensure that information is accessible only to authorised participants. All data exchanges, document uploads, and communications are protected through secure transmission protocols, reducing the risk of unauthorised access or interception.
Confidentiality obligations extend to all arbitrators, mediators, conciliators, staff, and associated professionals, who are bound by institutional rules, ethical standards, and non-disclosure requirements. Information shared during arbitration, mediation, conciliation, or negotiation is treated as privileged and is handled strictly in accordance with applicable laws.
SYSCO180’s data protection framework aligns with prevailing legal and regulatory requirements relating to privacy and information security. Procedural safeguards are in place for data storage, retention, and controlled access, ensuring that personal, commercial, and legal information is preserved with integrity and confidentiality.
Through its comprehensive security and data protection measures, SYSCO180 ensures a safe, reliable, and trustworthy environment for dispute resolution—reinforcing confidence among parties and upholding the highest standards of institutional responsibility and legal compliance.
SYSCO180 offers a structured and user-friendly case filing process designed to ensure procedural clarity, accessibility, and efficiency across arbitration, mediation, conciliation, negotiation, and ODR-enabled proceedings. The step-by-step framework ensures that parties can initiate disputes confidently while complying with institutional and legal requirements.
The party initiating the dispute creates an account on the SYSCO180 platform by providing basic identification and contact details. Secure authentication ensures authorised access to the system.
The claimant selects the appropriate mechanism—arbitration, mediation, conciliation, or negotiation—and indicates whether the process is to be conducted physically, digitally, or through the ODR platform.
The claimant submits essential case information, including party details, nature of the dispute, contractual or legal basis, relief sought, and preferred language and seat, where applicable. Relevant agreements, correspondence, and supporting documents are uploaded electronically.
Where institutional or administrative fees apply, payment is made through secure digital channels in accordance with SYSCO180’s fee schedule. Provisions for free legal aid or concessional access may apply in eligible cases.
SYSCO180 conducts an administrative review to verify jurisdiction, completeness, and compliance with institutional rules. Any deficiencies are promptly communicated for rectification.
Upon acceptance, a formal notice is issued to the respondent, along with access credentials to the platform, enabling submission of responses and participation in proceedings.
An independent arbitrator, mediator, or conciliator is appointed in accordance with institutional rules, subject-matter expertise, and conflict-of-interest disclosures.
Once the neutral is appointed and preliminary procedures are completed, the dispute resolution process formally commences with scheduled sessions, hearings, or exchanges as applicable.
