ReSolution®Welcome to this inaugural edition of ReSolution® the Quarterly Newsletter of the New Zealand Dispute Resolution Centre (NZDRC) and the New Zealand International Arbitration Centre (NZIAC)
When NZDRC was launched at the offices of Simpson Grierson in November last year, it was described by the Hon Peter Salmon QC as a “Private civil justice service with its own registry” and a “truly innovative and comprehensive enterprise”. He said “Those involved in disputes will find that the Centre provides a structured and principled approach to the timely resolution of those disputes. I can see a strong partnership developing between the law firms and the Centre as they work together to identify the best method for resolving a particular dispute.”
I am delighted to report that the Hon Peter Salmon’s prophecy has been borne out in practice. NZDRC has worked with law firms throughout NZ and Australia this past year to provide an efficient, professional and credible forum for the delivery of private dispute resolution services, notably mediation and arbitration. NZDRC is to host and co-ordinate the hearing of the first ICSID arbitration to be heard in New Zealand early next year.
We are most grateful to our local contributors and for the support that we have received from dispute resolution professionals and law firms around the globe that allows us to bring you a broad perspective on dispute resolution.
I do hope you find this Issue of ReSolution® interesting and useful. Please feel free to distribute ReSolution® to your friends and colleagues – they are most welcome to contact us if they wish to receive our publications directly.
