Mr Craig Leggat SC, Barrister, Martin Place Chambers

Aims

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and pre-litigation obligations is set to become the ‘norm’ and is almost a compulsory gateway to many court hearings.

Many practitioners and their clients are already taking ‘reasonable’ steps to resolve civil disputes before resorting to litigation.

Part 2A of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 is designed to encourage more to take up this practice.

While the introduction of these pre-litigation reforms has been delayed by 18 months in NSW, the Federal Court has already adopted these changes.

With the growth of various forms of ADR, including Mediation, practitioners should familiarise themselves with the objectives, processes and tactics of mediation to best advocate and act effectively for their clients.

Our speaker for this CLE is Craig James Leggat SC.

An accredited mediator, Mr Leggat has appeared in a variety of courts, tribunals and commissions in Australia for the past 30 years.

He has advised banks, governments, government ministers, councils, developers, debtors and legal practitioners.
