Recital 17
(17) The natural persons in charge of alternative dispute resolution should only be considered impartial if they cannot be subject to pressure that potentially influences their attitude towards the dispute. There is a particular need to ensure the absence of such pressure where ADR entities are financed by one of the parties to the dispute or an organisation of which one of the parties is a member. In that event, the natural persons themselves should step down, failing which they would be liable to professional, administrative, civil or criminal sanctions in accordance with the laws of the Member State in which the case is being conducted.
