Alternative dispute resolution Equality bodies shall be able to offer the parties the possibility of seeking an alternative resolution to their dispute. That process may be led by the equality body itself or by another competent entity, in accordance with national law and practice, in which case the equality body may formulate observations to that entity. Such alternative dispute resolution may take different forms, such as mediation or conciliation, in accordance with national law and practice. The absence of a resolution shall not preclude the parties from exercising their right to act in court proceedings. Member States shall ensure that there is a sufficient limitation period to guarantee that the parties to a dispute have access to court, for example by suspending the limitation period while the parties engage in an alternative dispute resolution process.
