Franky B's is a popular restaurant chain which is seeking a resolution to a conflict it has with its supplier of Fried Chicken. It is looking for a dispute resolution that does not involve the court but in which an expert third party will make a binding decision. Which is the most suitable dispute resolution method for Franky B's?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is: 'damages attempt to position the innocent party in the position that they would have been had the contract been performed as expected'. This is a quote from p. 121 Option1 is incorrect as unliquidated damages aren't stated in a contract. Option 2 is incorrect because liquidated damages are an assessment of damages before a breach. Option 4 is incorrect because not all breaches are caused by errors (they can be caused by negligence or the offending party withholding something).

I hear Franky B's is really clucking up a storm over this chicken conflict. Maybe they should settle it over a bucket of their famous fried fowl - the 'judge' can decide who gets the extra crispy pieces!

Litigation, all the way! Nothing beats the good old-fashioned courtroom drama. Just imagine Franky B's and the chicken supplier going at it, lawyers flying left and right. It'd be like 'Chicken Fried Court' - the hottest new reality TV show!

I'm going with conciliation on this one. It's a more informal process that allows both parties to come together and try to find a mutually acceptable solution. That could be a better way to resolve the conflict without getting the courts involved.

Adjudication might be too formal for this situation. Conciliation or mediation seem like better options.

I agree, mediation could also work well. It's a neutral third party helping both sides reach a resolution.

Adjudication seems like the way to go here. It's a formal process that's binding, and having an expert third party make the call is exactly what Franky B's needs. Plus, it's faster and cheaper than going to court.

Litigation should be the last resort for Franky B's, it's costly and time-consuming. Trying to resolve the conflict outside of court is definitely the way to go.

Conciliation might be a good choice too, it's similar to mediation but the third party can suggest solutions to the dispute.

Conciliation could also work, it's more informal and might help maintain the relationship with the supplier.

Hmm, I think mediation would be the best option for Franky B's. It allows them to avoid the court system and have an expert make a binding decision, which seems like the ideal solution for their conflict with the chicken supplier.
