What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes how disagreements become decided cases: the disputes parties raise against each other, the forums (courts, tribunals, arbitration and mediation bodies) empowered to hear them, the proceedings through which claims are argued and evidence is weighed, and the decisions and remedies that close them.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Disputes deciding forums proceedings decisions and remedies
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because adjudication must stay independent of the models it judges: enforcement (A18) refers cases into it, contracts (O5) escalate into it, and registries record its outcomes, but the deciding forum, its procedure and its record belong here.
