Critical Considerations for Institutional Design of Consumer Online Dispute Resolution

在2022财年，该研究证实了ODR程序用户友好性的重要性。此外，它还扩展了以下方面的分析：a)制定所有相关利益相关者都能接受的立法的困难；b)大陆法系（特别是在欧盟）和普通法司法管辖区（特别是美国）之间的实质性不同方法。从技术角度来看，欧盟似乎不太关心ODR的优点，而是专注于利用它们将纠纷排除在法院系统之外。美国倾向于更详细地研究该程序的结构，并强调ODR本身的优点。FY2022用于巩固研究成果，并在选定的学者和实践者群体中传播，特别是与政策制定者有联系的学者和实践者。会议的亮点是在国际贸易法委员会研究司举办的特邀讲座，以及2022年联合国贸易法委员会亚太日的组织和特别讲座。

In FY2022 the research confirmed the findings about the importance of user-friendliness of ODR procedures. Also, it expanded the analysis on a) the difficulties of creating legislation which could be acceptable to all the relevant stakeholders and b) a substantial different approach between civil law (especially in the EU) and common law jurisdictions (especially the US). The EU seems less concerned with the merits of ODR from a technical perspective, and focuses on using them to keep disputes out of the court system. The US tend to study more in detail the structure of the procedure, and stressed the merits of ODR in itself. FY2022 was used to consolidate the research results, and to disseminate them among a selected group of scholars and practictioners, expecially some with connections with policy makers.The highlight were an invited lecture at the JAA Research Division, as well as the organization of the UNCITRAL Asia Pacific Day 2022 and a special lecture.
