Is it time for England and Wales to follow the examples of other jurisdictions and introduce mandatory alternative dispute resolution (ADR)? In this week’s NLJ, Thomas H Curran, managing partner at Curran Antonelli, part of the IR Global network, looks ahead to the changing landscape of dispute resolution
Curran sets out the compulsory arrangements in Florida, New York, Italy, Greece and Ontario, also noting that ADR remains entirely voluntary in Connecticut and Alabama. He then turns to the situation in England and Wales.
‘Despite the views expressed in Halsey, a number of compulsory ADR mechanisms already exist and are gaining momentum in England and Wales,’ he writes. He highlights some of the advances that have been made in this direction.
Curran concludes the article by examining concerns that have been raised about compulsory ADR.
