e-INDUSTRY NEWSLETTER | 

Prime Dispute is pleased to offer you our monthly e-Industry Newsletter for 2022! We highlight current news, developments and the 'Top 65 Influencers'; supporting our vision for law, dispute avoidance, management and resolution mechanisms as an equal to litigation.

INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION ROUNDTABLE | Over the last decade the approach taken by commercial parties towards dispute resolution has changed. While traditional forms of dispute resolution remain popular, commercial parties are increasingly looking to alternative forms of dispute resolution mechanisms to find methods of dispute resolution which better suit their commercial needs and deliver efficient and effective results. But does mediation provide the answer? 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

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 | An interesting read - Children's Ark Partnerships Ltd v Kajima Construction (Europe) UK Ltd and another [2022] EWHC 1595 (TCC), the Technology and Construction Court found that a contractual alternative dispute resolution (ADR) clause gave rise to a condition precedent to the commencement of litigation. However, the ADR provision in question was unenforceable due to its lack of "clarity and certainty". It is clear from this decision that the court is willing to endorse tiered dispute resolution clauses and stay any court proceedings where a breach has occurred. Read More

Legal Updates
Key development |  The Law Commission has today published a consultation paper on possible reforms to the #ArbitrationAct1996 seeking stakeholder input on key areas of the Act including #confidentiality, #arbitrator independence & disclosures, #discrimination, arbitrator #immunity, summary disposal, court-ordered interim measures, challenges and appeals. The duration of the consultation is 22 September to 15 December 2022. The Act came into force twenty five years ago and it is an ideal time to revisit it - this will ensure London remains a key seat for #internationalarbitration. Prime Dispute will continue to encourage its members to contribute to the debate and will update them on key developments over the coming months.
