About the lecture

The 2005 lecture, Litigate, Arbitrate, Mediate - Frustrate?: Breaking the Dispute Deadlock, was given by Arthur L Marriot QC. Mr Marriott challenged some of the traditional approaches to dispute resolution by focusing on strategies for commercial settlement prior to or within litigation or arbitration which emphasise reconciliation of the parties' business interests and control of cost and time.
