A symposium presented by the India Working Group of the IBA Asia Pacific Regional Forum and supported by the IBA Arbitration Committee and the IBA Litigation Committee.
Topics include:
- The rule of law – will the rule of law and the justice delivery system in India offer a competitive edge over other developing economies? Can uniform laws and justice delivery mechanisms drive us towards a borderless world?
- What are the new rules, methodologies and developments in arbitration law and practice? Are the new amendments proposed for India’s arbitration law likely to be game changers?
- The ADR/litigation debate – this house believes that private disputes cannot create rights in rem, or an arbitrator cannot be an amiable compositeur.
- Session on privacy, GDPR and the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act: where is the judicial freedom of speech on the one hand and regulation of social media on the other.
- If intellectual property (IP) dispute outcomes are expensive and predictable, how can we enforce IP rights without court intervention? When is ‘going to court’ inevitable?
- The benefits and impact of artificial intelligence on dispute resolution – is India’s Grand Trunk Road warning ‘Speed thrills but kills’ at all relevant in this context?
- Session on white collar crime.
