At a ceremony in Beijing last Thursday, Lord Woolf, former Lord Chief Justice and Chair of CEDR’s International Advisory Council, and Secretary General Dong Songgen of CCPIT launched a landmark international mediation centre alliance to help European and Chinese businesses resolve disputes without having to go to court in a foreign jurisdiction.
CCPIT (China Council for the Promotion of International Trade) and CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) are working together to create the UK-China Mediation Centre, located in Beijing and London, for the mediation of Chinese-European disputes.
Commenting on the announcement, Lord Woolf of Barnes explained that:
“Whilst the Chinese have a long tradition of informal mediation in business disputes, our colleagues at CCPIT are interested in providing current business mediation as a method of resolving international disputes as part of a civil justice system.“
