Download or read book EU Cross Border Commercial Mediation written by Anna Howard and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing national and international regulatory framework to support cross-border mediation, the use of such mediation appears to remain stubbornly low. This book focuses in particular on the European Union’s (EU’s) continued efforts to encourage the use of cross-border mediation and examines why such efforts have had a limited impact. It does so by drawing on rare, and at times surprising, detailed insights from in-house counsel of multinational companies regarding their use of EU cross-border commercial mediation. By viewing mediation through the lens of disputants, new and important findings regarding why disputants do, and do not, use cross-border mediation have emerged. While these findings are of primary relevance to EU policy and practice, they have implications far beyond the EU context at a time of increasing international interest in cross-border mediation. The analysis of the insights provided by the disputants reveals, for example: the prominent role played by negotiation as a cross-border dispute resolution process; that negotiation is a key comparator for disputants when considering whether to use mediation; how the EU’s continued focus on understanding and presenting mediation as an alternative to litigation has resulted in measures which are insufficient to address fully the barriers to the use of mediation; intriguing barriers to the use of mediation which arise from the association which disputants draw between mediation and negotiation; how the relationship which disputants draw between mediation and negotiation paradoxically raises both opportunities for, and obstacles to, the increased use of mediation; and what disputants need in order to increase their use of cross-border mediation. The qualitative nature (by way of interviews) of the research conducted for this book has enabled the identification of nuanced and novel findings regarding mediation’s position and potential in cross-border dispute resolution. These findings, together with a detailed examination of the EU Directive on Certain Aspects of Mediation in Civil and Commercial Matters and the EU’s continued initiatives to foster the use of mediation, form the foundation upon which this book’s recommendations are built. Changing the frame to view the use of mediation through the disputants’ perspective, as this book does, provides the opportunity for the EU to promote cross-border mediation in a way which resonates more deeply with disputants and responds more fully to their concerns and needs. This thought-provoking book will be of interest not only to European and national bodies seeking to promote the use of mediation but clearly also to dispute resolution academics, in-house counsel, and of course mediators and dispute resolution practitioners in general.

It is the outcome of an international congress that was being held in October 2008, in Brussels. The book introduces the reader to the rise of the European pro-mediation idea and the characteristics of the New Mediation Directive, with the Directive itself being assessed more critically. It examines how the training of mediators - one of the key rules of the New Mediation Directive - should be implemented into the European education practice of mediators. It discusses the task and possibilities of judges to invite parties to participate in mediation. It also provides some comparative discussions of how European mediation can be improved by looking at some American mediation issues, and it demonstrates how far Chinese mediation perspectives can be reconciled with the current European mediation philosophy.

Download or read book Civil and Commercial Mediation in Europe written by Carlos Esplugues Mota and published by Intersentia Uitgevers N V. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediation plays a leading role within the movement of Alternative Dispute Resolution after centuries in which, for several reasons, the State and State courts were regarded as the only available instrument to ensure access to justice to citizens. In the European Union, the institution of mediation has received much support in the form of Directive 2008/52/EC, which sets forth a minimum common legal framework for mediation in the EU's Member States. The 2008 Directive has finally been implemented in the Member States, and this book provides the much needed in-depth analysis of the status of the mediation regimes in the EU. The analysis covers the legal regimes of the Member States set up for cross-border and national mediation. Whereas detailed national reports on the situation of national mediation have already been published in Civil and Commercial Mediation in Europe - National Mediation Rules and Procedures (ISBN 978 1 78068 077 4), this book, in addition to the analysis, includes national reports on cross-border mediation, including in-depth information on all the relevant aspects of cross-border mediation: the notion of cross-border mediation, the law applicable to the mediation clause, the mediation proceedings, and the content of the settlement reached by the parties. Special attention is given to the recognition and enforcement in the EU of settlements reached in other Member States and outside Europe. In addition, the role of mediators and requirements to become a mediator are examined. This book provides a unique picture of the legal situation in the EU for cross-border mediation. It will be an invaluable instrument for those who want to know more about this complex topic or want to become a mediator in Europe themselves.

Download or read book EU Mediation Law Handbook written by Nadja Alexander and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 842 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediation is rapidly becoming a norm in cross-border dispute resolution among European Union (EU) Member States. Accordingly, an important question for legal advisers to ask themselves is: Which jurisdiction offers the best legal framework to support a potential future mediation of my client’s dispute? This book responds to this question by examining the law on mediation in each Member State on a chapter-by-chapter basis. Each country analysis applies the book’s overarching principle of a specially designed Regulatory Robustness Rating System, which is thoroughly explained in an introductory chapter. This framework offers a highly effective way to analyse the quality and robustness of each of the EU’s twenty-nine national jurisdictions’ legal frameworks relevant to mediation (including legislation, case law, practice directions, codes of conduct, standards, and other regulatory instruments) and factor such an analysis into choices about governing law in mediation clauses and other agreements. Among the issues and topics covered are the following: • congruence of domestic and international legal frameworks; • transparency and clarity of content of mediation laws; • standards and qualifications for mediators; • rights and obligations of participants in mediation; • access to mediation services; • access to internationally recognised and skilled mediators; • enforceability of clauses and mediated settlement agreements; • confidentiality and flexibility; • admissibility of evidence from mediation in subsequent proceedings; • impact of commencement of mediation on litigation limitation periods; • relationship and attitude of courts to mediation; and • regulatory incentives for legal advisers to engage in mediation. This detailed analysis clearly allows users and other regulatory stakeholders to look closely and critically at regulatory regimes for mediation in order to make informed choices and develop appropriate strategies in relation to the law that governs their mediation. This is the first book to consider authoritatively what makes good mediation law and what makes a jurisdiction attractive for cross-border mediation purposes in terms of its regulatory framework. As a resource that identifies potential strengths and weaknesses of each EU Member State’s regulatory regime, it has no peers and will be welcomed and put to use by the alternative dispute resolution community in Europe and beyond.

Download or read book Mediation written by Klaus J. Hopt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediation provides an attractive alternative to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Mediation promises just results in the interest of all parties concerned, a reduction of the court caseload, and cost savings for the parties involved as well as for the treasury. The European Directive on Mediation has given mediation in Europe new momentum by establishing a common framework for cross-border mediation. Beyond Europe, many states have tried in recent years to answer the question whether, and if so, how mediation should be regulated at a national and international level. The aim of this book is to promote the understanding and discussion of regulatory issues by presenting comparative research on mediation. It describes and analyses the law and practice of mediation in twenty-two countries. Europe is represented by chapters on mediation in Austria, Bulgaria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal and Spain. The world beyond Europe is analysed in chapters on mediation in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Switzerland and the USA. Against this background, further chapters on fundamental issues identify possible regulatory models and discuss central principles of mediation law and practice. In particular, the work considers harmonisation and diversity in the law of mediation as well as the economic and constitutional problems associated with privatising civil justice. To the extent available, empirical research is used as a point of reference in the critical analysis.

This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Civil Action / Lawsuit Law, grade: 1,5, Stellenbosch Universitiy (Departement of Mercantile Law), course: LL.M. International Trade Law, language: English, abstract: Since international trade and commerce as well as cross-border transactions have grown rapidly the need for effective dispute resolution systems has significantly increased. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) like Mediation and Conciliation serve as an alternative procedures to litigation and can be characterised as dispute resolution based on the consent of the parties. Besides being more cost-effective procedures than litigation Mediation and conciliation offer the opportunity of a settlement truly agreed upon by the parties. To secure a situation where both parties are able and willing to speak frankly over the issues in dispute, confidentiality is a key feature of mediation. This research paper evaluates how confidentiality in mediation is dealt with in different legal systems and whether improvements may be provided by implementation of the Directive on certain aspects of Mediation in Civil and Commercial Matters (hereafter “the Directive”) and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation (2002) (hereafter “the Model Law”). After an explanation of the relevant definitions of mediation and confidentiality, confidentiality rules established in typical Common - Law and Civil - Law systems are examined. Exploring the legal basis of confidentiality rules and their exceptions, special reference is made to existing gaps in the rules which cause problems in practice. Afterwards the aims, scope of application and the confidentiality provisions of the Directive as well as existing gaps and challenging matters concerning the Directive and its implementation into national law will be focused upon. Subsequently the Model Law will be considered concerning the same issues as the discussion on the Directive. A final comparison of the results will lead to suggestions as to how mediation rules should deal with confidentiality issues comprehensively.

Download or read book Blackstone s Guide to the Equality Act 2010 written by John Wadham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Equality Act 2010 was an extremely significant reform of UK discrimination law, consolidating the existing complex mass of statutory provisions into one statute. The Act brought new rights against discrimination and imposed new duties on employers, service providers and public authorities, and also introduced a new socio-economic duty on public authorities to reduce the inequalities of outcome which result from socio-economic disadvantage. It defined nine protected characteristics: age, disability, combined grounds, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. Much more is now known about the Equality Act in practice; amendments have been made to the Act itself (such as those made as a consequence of insurance premium and gender cases in the European Court of Justice) and statutory guidance to the Act has been produced. Case law on the new provisions is also starting to appear. This fully revised edition of Blackstone's Guide to the Equality Act 2010 covers all recent developments and clearly and concisely explains the intricacies of the Equality Act. Combining the full text of the Act, as amended, with narrative from an expert team, the book is an invaluable resource for all who encounter the evolving legislation. The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published soon after enactment, they offer expert commentary by leading names on the extent, scope, and effects of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.
