Dispute resolution (ADR)
ADR – to be able to easily appeal
Alternative Dispute Resolution proceedings (ADR) are in place so that you will easily be able to appeal the allocation of a domain name retroactively without needing to go to court. Speed, effectiveness and legal security are .SE’s guidewords for dispute resolution.
As early as 2003, new, more simple rules for dispute resolution were created. At the same time, the rules for domain name allocation were changed to the principle of “first-come, first-serve”, i.e. the first party to apply for a domain gets it without preliminary examination.
The National Top Level Domains for Sweden on the Internet Act has been in force since July 2006, which requires there to be a functioning dispute resolution system. The current regulations fulfill the legal requirements well.
