Arbitration is a form of ADR that is used to resolve disputes outside of the traditional court system. Institutional arbitration involves arbitration administered by a specialized organization. While arbitration has many advantages, including its efficiency and flexibility, there are also some issues that include concerns around the impartiality and bias of arbitrators, cost, and potential challenges around enforcing arbitration decisions.
FICL is truly honoured to have Justice Hemant Gupta as a Guest of Honour and we are looking forward to his valuable insights and contributions on the contemporary topic.
FICL is also felicitating its senior member Shri AK Sinha Ex ED (LAW) SAIL who has recently superannuated.
By Invitation only.
