Investigating the essence of the problem the author agrees with the opinion of many scholars and emphasizes the need for searching of the alternative methods of the disputes regulation as the value of the cost of court fee, excessive length of proceedings term, reduce of the level of confidence in the court by the public proves ineffective and inexpediency of consideration of the disputes in the court. Analyzing the situation in Ukraine the right observation has been made by the author on the fact that the number of proceedings every year is not reduced, and the terms of their consideration is only increased. Among factors of such phenomenon the author considers the following: absence of the proper legal education of citizens as to their attitude to the compromises and imperfection of the current mechanism of the legal regulation.
