Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Mediation Law and Civil Practice by Tony Allen
Examines the position of mediation within the civil justice system in England and Wales tracing the evolution of the relationship between the courts and the mediation.This new edition discusses: the attitudes generated by the Jackson Review and Briggs LJ’s reforms proposed in the Chancery Modernisation Review and his Civil Courts Structure Review; recent case law such as AB v CD and MWB Business Centres v Rock; protocols which despite modification remain inconsistent in their treatment of ADR; the impact of the EU Directive and the EU Consumer Directive; and the CJC Working Group report on ADR and Civil Justice. The book also challenges the status quo by casting doubt on some decisions and generates alternative thinking around current legal and practice concepts.
