The problem with this one is that when things get to a formal stage the battle has likely already been lost. Formal dispute resolution is highly adversarial with the disputants willing to pull out any evidence that could remotely help their cause; this exacerbates the problem and brings attention to details that would have otherwise been dismissed as insignificant. Better to find ways that bring disputants together instead of wedging them apart.
