• Author(s) / Creator(s)

  • Reif, Linda C.

• The article focuses on international commercial disputes, which are typically between private partners. It then emphasizes the conciliation or mediation as a method for the resolution of such disputes. It explores more international rules and model laws for the use of conciliation as an alternative or prelude to adjudication, and more exposure to the possibility of conciliation during arbitration. According to the author, many jurisdictions have acknowledged the possibility of holding mediation during international commercial arbitrations held in Canada, and Canadian jurisdictions are starting to consider legislation to support international commercial mediation.
