The Civil Justice Reform ("CJR") in Hong Kong and Practice Direction 31 ("PD31") of the Judiciary (2 January 2010) encourages litigants to explore mediation to resolve their differences.
Mediation has since been used to a much greater extent in Hong Kong. The international trend of using Mediation to resolve disputes is catching on quickly in Hong Kong and becoming "mainstream". Anyone who is involved in dispute resolution should understand what Mediation is all about or be left behind.
This is an intensive 5-day Mediation Training Course designed by ADRIL to provide the necessary theory and skills to business professionals who are interested in understanding Negotiation and Mediation and / or wish to be Accredited as a Mediator. This course is offered in collaboration with the Association of International Accountants.
