During that period 7 ADR entities have been operating in the Slovak Republic. The integral part of the research is a comparison of this type of out-of-court settlement with alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes in the Czech Republic. The methods used for the research include analysis, comparison, deduction and synthesis.
Key words: consumer alternative dispute resolution, ADR entity, consumer, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic
