Enforceability of ADR Decisions in Real Estate Disputes
This study examines how Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) decisions in real estate disputes are enforced in India and Brazil. Through comparative legal analysis, I investigate the statutory frameworks, procedural requirements, judicial attitudes, and institutional mechanisms that support enforcement in these jurisdictions. The findings reveal that while both countries have established comprehensive legal foundations for ADR enforcement, they differ markedly in procedural efficiency and institutional capacity. Brazil shows shorter enforcement timelines and higher success rates, largely due to streamlined procedures and specialized enforcement chambers. India provides stronger regulatory oversight through RERA but struggles with judicial delays. I conclude with practical recommendations for legal reforms and institutional improvements to enhance enforcement effectiveness in both countries.
