Roadshow on resolving dispute

897

The Brunei Darussalam Arbitration Centre (BDAC) embarked on an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) awareness roadshow, which commenced in the Brunei-Muara District at the Brunei-Muara District Office yesterday.

The roadshow aims to educate and promote the benefits of ADR, with a focus on mediation and arbitration, and highlights BDAC as the ideal centre for resolving disputes.

The event was attended by Legislative Council members, penghulu mukim and village heads, who recognise the significance of ADR in fostering harmonious and effective dispute resolution in a community. Attendees were provided insights into ADR mechanisms, particularly mediation and arbitration, and how the methods can facilitate swift, cost-effective, and mutually agreeable resolutions for various types of conflicts.

BDAC representatives shed light on the advantages of ADR, including the preservation of relationships, confidentiality, flexibility, while tailoring solutions to the specific needs of the parties involved.

A question-and-answer session was also held.
