Gujarat [India], May 24: Gujarat State Legal Services Authority has organized Orientation Training Programme on “Arb-Med” (Arbitration – Mediation) for integrating the concept of mediation in Commercial Arbitration. Under the able guidance of Hon’ble Mrs. Sunita Agarwal, the Chief Justice, High Court of Gujarat & Patron-in-Chief, GSLSA and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Biren Vaishnav, Executive Chairman, GSLSA, five days’ intensive training has been imparted to 11 shortlisted Advocates dealing exclusively in commercial cases and arbitration matters by Mr. Tariq Khan, Senior Mediator from Hyderabad International Arbitration & Mediation Centre and Mr. A J. Jawad, Senior Mediator from Training for excellence in Arbitration & Mediation, Chennai.
While floating the idea of Arb-Med for the first time in the country, Hon’ble The Chief Justice emphasized that though Arbitration is one of the modes of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which contemplates minimal intervention of the courts, seldom one finds the dispute referred to Arbitration which is not dragged to a Court of law as part of application for setting aside of award. In the newly enacted Mediation Act, 2023, word ‘Mediation’ is defined in Section 2(h) which includes the process of conciliation also.
