What is Early Neutral Evaluation
Neutral Evaluation, sometimes called “Early Neutral Evaluation,” is a process where a neutral third party hears presentations by disputants of their positions, then provides them with his/her evaluation of the case.Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) is when disputing parties submit their case to a neutral evaluator through a confidential "evaluation session." The neutral evaluator considers each side's position and renders an evaluation of the case.
ENE can be an effective means of dispute resolution in that it can:
- 1. highlight and clarify the issues in dispute;
- 2. be faster than more traditional forms of dispute resolution;
- 3. demonstrate the limits of a party's case, any gaps in the evidence and the risks involved in pursuing litigation; and
- 4. Assist in settlement negotiations by encouraging parties to move to a more realistic negotiating position.
