Gujarat High Court to Host Major Conference on Institutional Arbitration Challenges
The Gujarat High Court Arbitration Centre (GHAC) and the Gujarat State Legal Services Authority (GSLSA) are set to jointly organize a significant two-day conference starting from February 28. The event will focus on the critical theme of "Institutional Arbitration at a Crossroads: Challenges and the Way Forward", with a clear objective of promoting alternative dispute resolution mechanisms across the state.
Government Statement Highlights Conference Objectives
According to an official government statement released recently, this conference has been specifically designed to highlight the numerous advantages of institutional arbitration. The primary goal is to create substantial awareness among various stakeholders, including trade and industry users, legal professionals, and other key participants in the dispute resolution ecosystem.
The statement further emphasized that the deliberations during the conference will not be limited to traditional arbitration discussions. Instead, they will extensively focus on the evolving and increasingly important concepts of Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) and Arbitration Mediation (Arb-Med). These hybrid approaches represent the future of dispute resolution, combining the flexibility of mediation with the binding nature of arbitration.
Registration Details and Conference Access
For those interested in participating in this landmark event, the registration process will commence from February 9. The registration forms will be made available on the official websites of three key institutions:
- The Gujarat High Court official website
- The Gujarat High Court Arbitration Centre (GHAC) portal
- The Gujarat State Legal Services Authority (GSLSA) website
This conference represents a significant step forward in Gujarat's legal landscape, bringing together experts, practitioners, and stakeholders to address contemporary challenges in arbitration. By focusing on both traditional and emerging dispute resolution methods, the event aims to provide comprehensive insights and practical solutions for the legal community and business sector alike.
