ABSTRACT
In a society that virtualises, with most of the
current youth being online substantial
parts of the day, to say that in the not so far future ODR will handle a large part
of the disputes is not a daring prophecy. The relations between the various
parties involved
in ODR are more diverse and complicated than offline, both practically and legally.
This article provides an analysis that stretches further than the two disputing parties
and the Third Party. Several scenarios of the relationships between the various parties
are analysed. One party is not human, the Fourth Party, commonly used to denote technology.
In this paper it is argued that the concept of a Fifth Party as the provider of
the technology
is needed to understand all possible legal and practical relations. |
