Senior Courts Introduce National Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee

A National Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee has been formed and it is co-chaired by Justice of Appeal Michelle Arana, Justice Martha Alexander, and Justice Candace Nanton.  The formation of the working group, formerly the National Mediation Committee, aims to enhance access to justice through affordable settlements of disputes, as it complements the full trials.  The advantages of court mediation include swifter resolutions to disputes, savings on the cost of litigation, it also allows litigants the power to settle disputes.  The committee is also made up of key stakeholders in education, law, media, management, religion, and medicine.
