Here I provide my answers about the key factors to consider when moving a case from court to arbitration and about the advice I would offer to today's arbitration counsel. Those who know me won't be surprised that I jumped at the chance to champion #CaseManagementArbitration as a means of moving cases forward quickly, efficiently and fairly (while sidestepping the #CourtBacklog).

To Court or Arbitrate? Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a webinar hosted by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, which delved into the critical decision many people always face: litigation or arbitration. The session, expertly led by Gregory Vijayendran SC, a CLA Council Member and esteemed Singapore Institute of Arbitrator Fellow, provided invaluable insights into this complex area. Maximillian Taylor, the YCLA’s Lawyer in Training for England & Wales, adeptly moderated the discussion. A key takeaway was the importance of determining which disputes are suitable for arbitration. Vijayendran emphasized the need to carefully consider the nature of the dispute, the parties involved, and the desired outcome before selecting this alternative dispute resolution method. The choice of arbitration seat was also highlighted as a crucial factor, with the speaker providing expert guidance on selecting the most appropriate jurisdiction. A comparative analysis of litigation and arbitration was another focal point. The webinar underscored the distinct advantages and disadvantages of each approach, empowering attendees to make informed decisions based on their specific circumstances. Practical advice on crafting persuasive arguments in arbitration proceedings was also shared, along with best practices for arbitrators and legal counsel. It was evident throughout the webinar that arbitration offers a compelling alternative to traditional litigation for many commercial disputes. The potential for faster, more cost-effective, and confidential resolutions makes it an attractive option for resolving conflicts. ☑️ Attending this webinar was an invaluable experience. The insights shared by Gregory Vijayendran SC have provided me with a deeper understanding of the arbitration process and its potential benefits for all interested parties.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION The inception of ADR was initiated by Eric Green, a litigation attorney in America, who coined the term ADR in an article titled “settling large case litigation: an alternative approach”. ADR is frequently employed to refer to a diverse range of conflict resolution methods that serve as alternatives to formal legal proceedings. ADR is also known as the collection of methods a community uses to settle disagreements without expensive adversarial litigation. Forms of ADR ADR may be classified into two namely; binding and non binding. The binding ADR in this write-up is Arbitration. The non binding ADR include; negotiation, conciliation and mediation. 1. Negotiation: is facilitated by a neutral third party. This method includes an impartial third party who helps with communication and negotiation to reach a mutually agreed settlement between the conflicting parties in a voluntary and private manner. The procedure and the result are not obligatory. The mediator plays an active role in the negotiation process, but unlike a judge or arbitrator, they do not have the authority to enforce a settlement. 2. Conciliation: It is the procedure by which the disputing parties choose one or more impartial party(s). parties to assist in mediating a resolution of their disagreement via a certain process. In essence, the conciliator's job is to facilitate. Both the procedure and the result are non-binding. Similar to mediation, agreements made through conciliation are essentially equivalent to man's agreement. 3. Negotiation: The process by which two or more parties try to get to a mutually agreeable decision is called negotiation. It's possible that nobody else is involved. Typically, the principals represent themselves in legal matters or act on their own behalf. Typically, such methods are not subject to any rules or regulations. 4. Arbitration: A dispute or difference between at least two parties may be referred to arbitration, which is defined as a person or persons other than a court of competent jurisdiction, for determination after hearing both parties in a judicial manner. As a result, the arbitrator might be thought of as a private judge who resolves disputes between two or more parties in dispute. I am Anthonia Odunayo, a 4th-year law student.
