NSW Chapter event
Facilitated discussion on ADR in civil matters

More than 70 people turned out in February 2009 to have their say about the use of ADR in civil matters:

• When should mediation be manditory?
• What incentives would ensure greater use of mediation?
• What would remove some of the barriers?

The ideas will be used by LEADR to develop its submission to NADRAC on its most recent reference from the Attorney-General. For more infomation >>

Podcasts below are taken from the evening of:

• The Hon Justice Murray Kellam AO, Chair of NADRAC, addresses questions raised by participants.
• Oral reports from the tables about the key questions.
