I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Tony Guise on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. In different capacities, Tony Guise has been at the heart of every major civil justice reform of the past Thirty (30) years. Notable successes include the formation of the Civil Justice Council (CJC) in 1997, the campaign for new court accommodation in 2007 that became the Rolls Building, and, in 2013, #costs budgeting.

Tony ceased to practice as a commercial litigation solicitor in 2016. He now works full-time as the Director of DisputesEfiling.com Limited, an online dispute management platform, and campaigns for civil justice reform. He writes about his work for Solicitors Journal, Mediate.com, and the AOI Journal, among other publications. Tony wears many hats; I have left the link to his profile below:

In this series, we provided a brief overview of the Traditional African Methods of Settling Disputes (TAMSD), also known as the Indigenous Methods. This method was the main mode of settling disputes in most #African #countries prior to #British #colonisation, which ushered in #litigation- with reference to #Uganda and #Nigeria.

We examined the impact of Appropriate / Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), along with the role of technology in improving access to justice in England and Wales. Our discussion also delved into the purpose and impact of DisputesEfiling.com (DEF), including a brief analysis of the recent case of Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil, and we raised a pertinent question: Does the creation of DEF software suggest a growing interest in ADR? Tony presented data-driven examples to analyse the above-mentioned question while indicating the effectiveness of DEF compared to other similar products.

We also indicated the cost of downloading DEF software and what measures are in place to prioritise the cybersecurity and #confidentiality of registered practitioners. We went on to revisit Dr Chinwe’s 2020-2021 research findings, one of which revealed room for improvement in lawyers’ adoption of ADR across various jurisdictions. Tony shed light on the current situation.

In conclusion, Tony critically analysed AI’s role in dispute resolution and its impact on the ADR industry in England and Wales.

NOTE: This podcast was recorded before the Ministry of Justice announced on the 11th of April, 2024, that mediation was to be a required step in every claim for less than £10,000 in England and Wales.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Professor Barney on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. He was a professor of law and human rights lawyer in South Africa who realised that the law only works for people who can afford it. This sparked his interest in negotiation, mediation and other consensus-seeking approaches to promote a form of “subjective” justice where the law failed to provide sufficient protection. He now focuses on negotiation, conflict leadership and dispute resolution processes resolving disputes that impact organisations.

At Vlerick Business School, he teaches the MBA, Masters, open executive, and company-specific programmes. He is the co-founder and vice-chair of the Institute for Negotiation Innovation. He provides negotiation and conflict coaching and helps organisations develop coherent corporate negotiation strategies.

Barney wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile below: https://www.vlerick.com/en/find-faculty-and-experts/barney-jordaan/

In this episode, we examined the definition of ADR and its potential as a tool to combat discrimination, bullying, and harassment in the workplace. Professor Barney highlighted important questions to consider before determining the process to follow. These questions include: ‘How serious is the situation, i.e., has the victim suffered any physical, mental, or emotional distress or harm’?

In furtherance, we offer a comprehensive overview of the obstacles employees face when reporting these issues. We also consider the critical role that HR departments and organisational leaders play in creating safe and supportive spaces for reporting the issues mentioned earlier via ADR methods. Additionally, we explored strategies organisations can employ to cultivate a culture of diversity and inclusion that encourages employees to come forward with any experiences of bullying, harassment, or discrimination.

Finally, Professor Barney proffered practical ways of utilising ADR methods to create a safer and more respectful workplace. The focus was on how those who may have experienced bullying could be supported.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Herschenia Brown on the Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. She is a thought leader in workplace bullying and serves as the Vice Chair of Programming for the Diversity Committee of the American Bar Association Dispute Resolution and on the Advisory Board for the National Workplace Bullying Coalition, which is working to pass legislation to recognise bullying in the workplace as a toxic epidemic and create accountability. Hershey is an Ombudsman, Employment Mediator, Corporate Consultant, Speaker, and Amazon Bestselling and Award-Winning Author.

She wears many hats, so I left the link to her profile: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hersch…

In this series, we examined a range of questions on the abovementioned subject. Specifically, we analysed the efficacy of Appropriate/Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in combatting workplace bullying, discrimination, and harassment while examining the most suitable processes for safeguarding employees from such offences. We explored laws /employers’ legal obligations that are in place to prevent and address such behaviours while examining the encouragement of reporting such incidents through ADR.

Furthermore, we highlighted the common obstacles that impede employees from reporting, such as fear of retaliation from the organization or employer. Lastly, Hershey shared her personal experience with bullying, discrimination, and harassment, shedding light on cultural nuances that aid and abet these issues, including language barriers, education, hair, and proximity to whiteness, among others.
