Types Of Dispute Resolution

TYPES OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1. Please give a brief overview of the main dispute resolution methods used in your jurisdiction to settle large commercial disputes, identifying any recent trends.

Large commercial disputes are generally resolved through High Court litigation. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and, in particular, mediation has increasingly become an effective and well-used alternative to traditional court proceedings.

The courts have wide experience in handling large and complex commercial disputes. The High Court Commercial List (Order 63A, Rules of the Superior Courts 1986, as amended) was established in 2004 as a commercial division of the High Court to handle high value, complex cases on an expedited basis.
