Alternate director Under the Articles of Association of a company a director can appoint another person to hold office and act in his place as a director on a temporary basis. An alternate director can vote at board meetings and carry out the same functions as his appointing director in his absence. The alternate carries full legal responsibility and liability as a director. Sometimes alternates may only be appointed from other members of the board to avoid the introduction of outsiders. Alternative dispute resolution Also known as "ADR"; methods by which legal conflicts and disputes are resolved privately and other than through litigation in the public courts, usually through one of two forms: mediation or arbitration. It typically involves a process much less formal than the traditional court process and includes the appointment of a third-party to preside over a hearing between the parties. The advantages of ADR are speed and money: it costs less and is quicker than court litigation. ADR forums are also private. The disadvantage is that it often involves compromise. Alternative legacy One where the testator gives one of two things to the legatee without designating which of them; as, one of my two horses. Amalgamation The merging of two things together to form one such as the amalgamation of different companies to form a single company.
