Question

Which one of the following is an incorrect statement ?

• A. Conciliation means settling of disputes without litigation.
• B. The conciliators do not engage in any formal hearing.
• C. The party comes to settlement only when the award is made by the conciliator.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C The party comes to settlement only when the award is made by the conciliator.

Conciliation is one of the non-binding and informal procedures where an impartial third party, known as the conciliator, assist the parties to a dispute in reaching a mutually agreed settlement of the dispute without any litigation. And as conciliation is non-binding in nature, there is no compulsion on the party to reach a settlement only after award made by the Conciliator.

Hence, C is the correct option.
