MEDIATION - INSTRUMENTAL IN SOLVING DISPUTES? | It is important to note that using Mediation is a choice that puts the parties in full control. It is not and should never be seen, as a 'soft option'. It is a tried and tested process which can provide a creative roadmap to solve disputes within an amicable and open environment. Read More INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE | Arbitration remains strong and widely accepted as a means of resolving international commercial disputes. Potentially, no other process offers such efficient, impartial, multilateral and clear business mechanism for complex disputes. View the insights from our FPD International Arbitration Panellists. Please note: The 'INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE' publication includes 2 CPD points for all Prime Dispute members. Read More BUILDING STRONGER ECONOMIES AND REMOVING THE BARRIERS FOR THE POOREST WITHIN SOCIETY Our work supports individuals before and after they enter the commercial world and builds economies, by supporting people, businesses and governments through early understanding of ADR and development programmes. Read More INTERNATIONAL CRYPTOCURRENCY & SMART CONTRACT DISPUTES The Benefits of Arbitration and Mediation Read More WOMEN IN INTERNATIONAL LAW & ADR ROUNDTABLE | As the under-representation of senior women within the legal and ADR community remains a critical issue in the field, Prime Dispute fellows discuss the steps the community needs to take to overcome this lack of diversity, the development of the role of women in the profession and future challenges that will be faced by the next generation of female practitioners.

Read More UK | Interesting read - The English High Court upheld an order dismissing the appellants’ application for a stay of legal proceedings. The Court found that the appellants had taken steps in the proceedings to answer the substantive claims, so could not apply for a stay under s.9(3) of the Arbitration Act 1996 (Act). The Court sets out useful guidance regarding when a party to an arbitration agreement will have lost their right to apply to stay court proceedings in favour of #arbitration and will be found to have elected the court’s jurisdiction.

"At a time when there is a well-publicised shortage of judges and a backlog in the courts’ system, it is even more important that costs orders encourage such efficiency by ensuring that scarce court resources are only used when necessary (i.e. if #mediation or other forms of dispute resolution have failed or are inappropriate) and then only to the extent that is necessary (i.e. by only litigating those issues which are necessary to determine the dispute). Where this is not the case, there are likely to be negative costs consequences for the parties. Whether such negative costs orders will ‘encourage’ litigants to take a more ‘efficient approach to litigation’ remains to be seen."

Read More UK | Interesting read - Steve Ward Services (UK) Ltd v Davies & Davies Associates Ltd [2022] EWCA Civ 153 - The Court of Appeal held that the adjudicator was entitled to payment for fees incurred notwithstanding the fact that he resigned and did not deliver a decision. The court held that, on the construction of the adjudicator’s terms which entitled him to payment of fees absent any bad faith, the adjudicator was entitled to their fee even if their resignation was based on an erroneous view that he lacked jurisdiction to determine the dispute.
