The Labour government’s position on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is not yet clear

In this week’s NLJ, however, Nikki Edwards writes that, given Labour’s broader commitment to justice reform, ‘I anticipate it will be on the agenda once the first 100 days are out of the way’.

Edwards, president of the London Solicitors Litigation Association and partner at Howard Kennedy, covers current moves towards mandating ADR as part of the civil justice system. She looks at the challenges and considerations for Labour, and urges the government to champion ADR but proceed cautiously and definitely avoid a one size fits all approach.
