A webinar on “Mediation before arbitration or litigation?” was organised jointly by Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre (BIAC) and International Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ICADR), India. Experts stressed on advantages of mediation over arbitration and litigation as a dispute resolution tool, especially in the wake of the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.

The webinar focused on how mediation during pandemic can help resolve commercial disputes in a quick and cost effective manner, given the backlog of pending cases in courts of Bangladesh and India.

Panellists included Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, former adviser to the Government of Bangladesh and Mahbubur Rahman, chairman, BIAC.

From India, panellists included JLN Murthy, Kiran Bhardwaj and Dr Deepak Jindal, both advocates, among others. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
