What this session will cover

How will disputes arising from the increased use of blockchain technologies be resolved? Will more businesses adopt de-centralised dispute resolution methods and what does this mean for traditional dispute resolution? What are the risks to investors, consumers and other participants of this?

Join this session to hear about the adoption by businesses of blockchain technology, future use cases, and what that means for dispute resolution. We will examine the boundaries of online “voluntary” adjudication and how it translates to real world dispute resolution, redress where smart contracts don’t achieve a commercial outcome, or are manipulated, and the pros and cons of anonymity and decentralisation.
