Sir John Dyson to address 3rd Mediation Symposium
CIArb News / 26 July 2010
CIArb is delighted to announce that its 3rd Annual Mediation Symposium will take place on Wednesday 27 October 2010.
Following the sell-out success of CIArb's first and second mediation symposia, CIArb's 3rd Mediation Symposium will provide the ideal opportunity to discuss the key challenges facing mediators and network with fellow professionals.
Keynote speakers
The keynote speech will be delivered by the Rt Hon Sir John Anthony Dyson, Justice of the Supreme Court of the UK and Nadja Alexander, Professor of Law in Hong Kong.
Sir John Dyson is the most recent Justice to be appointed to the Supreme Court. He was appointed to the Court of Appeal in 2001 and was Deputy Head of Civil Justice from 2003 to 2006. He was Presiding Judge of the Technology and Construction Court from 1998 to 2001.
In 2004, as a Lord Justice of Appeal, he ruled in the seminal case of Halsey v Milton Keynes which set out the factors to be considered in deciding whether a party has unreasonably refused to mediate and when costs sanctions should be imposed.
Nadja Alexander has spoken widely on the regulation of mediation. She has extensive experience as a mediation practitioner, researcher, trainer and educational consultant in Australia, Europe, USA and Asia.
Programme
Michael Cover FCIArb (Mediation) and Tim Hardy, a partner at CMS Cameron McKenna, will chair panel debates on creating confidence in mediators and the process, with contributions from Sir Henry Brooke, Chairman of the CMC, Mark Jackson Stops, Simon Carne, Thierry Garby, Tony Willis FCIArb and others.
Delegates will then get the opportunity to take part in a selection of mediation skills workshops led by leading mediation practitioners and trainers. These include: family mediation, 'switching off you're your autopilot', developing your mediation practice, handling the lawyers and advocates in mediation and 'the makings of a master mediator'.
