The project aims to introduce new mechanisms of dispute resolution as a helping tool in legal procedures for lawyers, mediators and judges with the objective to reach an agreement between the parties; in some situations it could be used directly by citizens.

We believe that the new procedure has the potential to deeply change national and cross-border civil proceedings. The final goal is removing differences due to national laws among all EU countries.

• Application of algorithms to the solution of certain national and cross-border civil matters, into the allocation of goods, or the resolution of issues, in disputes, leading the parties to a friendly solution before or during the trial comparison;
• Development of new algorithms – distinguishing available rights (droits disponibles) from national mandatory rules (loi de police) in force in the different EU Member States;
• Development of a “European common ground” of available rights, different from standard legal principles, by developing and using algorithms that rapidly implement better settlements;
• Development of a software in which the selected harmonized procedures, applicable in all EU states, will not infringe upon or run amok of national regulations. The software could be integrated into webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr and to the E-Justice portal.

Direct beneficiaries will be administrators, brokers, lawyers, judges, mediators and jurists in general.

The end-beneficiary will be the EU-citizen.
