What this session will cover
This panel, presented by the Standing International Forum on Commercial Courts, will feature a discussion among commercial court judges drawn from around the world on the future of dispute resolution globally in the context of the economic challenges posed not only by the pandemic but also the changing ways in which we do business, and the demands these factors have placed on our courts. It will explore case management principles across different jurisdictions and will consider what has worked well to enable courts to deal with cases justly and efficiently; participants will debate concrete actions to deal with backlogs and the rapid digitisation of dispute resolution, and its attendant ethical and procedural issues.
