Brunei Darussalam Arbitration Centre (BDAC) hosted a hybrid seminar entitled “Toward A More Efficient Dispute Resolution: Best Practice in Asia and Beyond” on Wednesday.
The seminar saw a keynote lecture on ‘Guerilla Tactics in International Arbitration’ by Dr Michael Hwang SC. The keynote explored the legal foundations for classifying certain parties as arbitration guerillas, and described the tactics commonly used, along with steps that could be taken to respond to such tactics.
The keynote lecture was followed by a panel discussion ‘Embracing Shift Towards Arbitration and Mediation’, which discussed the transition of the legal landscape towards alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and the challenges of the arbitration – mediation (Arb – Med) methodology for resolving disputes.
The seminar was attended by various legal practitioners from the government and private sectors, and is an event organised by BDAC leading towards the Borneo ADR Week in mid-July.
