... will result in devastating results [FOR/TO] both parties [OF/TO] the dispute #1 (permalink) Thu Mar 26, 2009 22:18 pm   ... will result in devastating results [FOR/TO] both parties [OF/TO] the dispute
 

as the subj. goes...

it will result in devastating results [FOR/TO] both parties [OF/TO] the dispute

I am more inclined to think that it is FOR - OF

But I can't stop thinking that the other way around may be just as good, if not a better one...

A bad thing about the usage of prepositions is that in many cases there is no logic to it. They just have to be memorized. Luckily, it can be checked here
