GUIDELINE

Guideline for Drafting Letter by a Party to Dispute Inviting for Conciliation:

This letter is crucial when a party to a dispute wishes to initiate conciliation proceedings to resolve the issues amicably. Here's a concise guide for drafting this letter:

Title and Identification: Clearly title the document as "Letter Inviting for Conciliation" and include the names of the parties, case details, and the date.

Introduction and Purpose: Begin with a concise introduction expressing the party's willingness to explore conciliation as a means of resolving the dispute. State the specific reasons for choosing conciliation over other dispute resolution methods.

Background of Dispute: Provide a brief summary of the dispute, highlighting key issues and expressing a genuine intent to find a mutually acceptable resolution.

Proposal for Conciliation: Clearly propose the idea of engaging in conciliation and suggest potential conciliators if already identified. Express openness to the other party's suggestions for conciliators.

Timelines and Response: Set a reasonable timeframe for the other party to respond to the invitation and express a willingness to coordinate and cooperate in scheduling the conciliation sessions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Confrontational Tone: Maintain a diplomatic and cooperative tone throughout the letter, avoiding any language that may be perceived as confrontational or adversarial.

Failure to Highlight Benefits: Clearly articulate the benefits of conciliation, emphasizing the potential for a quicker, cost-effective, and mutually satisfactory resolution compared to prolonged litigation.

Lack of Clarity on Issues: Be specific about the issues to be addressed in conciliation, preventing misunderstandings and ensuring a focused resolution process.

Neglecting Legal Formalities: While conciliation is often less formal than litigation, ensure that the letter adheres to any legal formalities required by the jurisdiction or governing law.

Ignoring Communication Etiquette: Use polite language and professional etiquette in the letter, fostering a positive and constructive atmosphere for conciliation discussions.

By following these guidelines and avoiding common mistakes, a well-drafted Letter Inviting for Conciliation sets the groundwork for constructive and collaborative discussions, encouraging the resolution of disputes in a less adversarial manner.
