About the Conference

The School of Law, K R Mangalam University, Haryana is organizing a 1-Day Virtual National Seminar Contemporary Issues in ADR Techniques, on December 3, 2021.

With all-round developments taking place in India, major projects, particularly infrastructure projects and mega projects are being implemented in different parts of the country. Developmental projects also accompany various disputes. In spite of one’s best efforts to avoid disputes, the disputes have become part and parcel of their contractual relationship.

In order to complete projects without cost or time overrun, a suitable mechanism should be in place to resolve disputes as and when they arise.

The amended Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 has raised much hope which promises to be an effective tool for speedy and cost-effective dispute resolution besides facilitating the implementation of foreign awards. This augurs well for raising the level of ease of doing business in the country thus paving way for attracting more Foreign Direct Investments.

India, where a number of projects by MNCs are going on, has the potential of becoming the hub of International Arbitration. The hurdles if any in this context have to be identified and removed. The Conference is organized to address these problems, besides updating knowledge on the subject and hone the skills of practising and aspiring ADR.

This National Conference seeks:

to explore, analyze and understand the concepts and factors that are relevant or otherwise, influence the theme;
to evaluate emerging trends in alternative dispute resolution and assess their impact in judicial system;
to formulate recommendations that might facilitate in bolstering the process of ADR with regards to emerging trends;
to familiarize the learners with the conceptual and thematic understanding of ADR, and
to devise and deliberate upon possible solutions for the incongruities and loopholes that exists with respect to the theme.
