Tuesday 12 November (1045 - 1215)

Description

The speakers will explore the complex interplay between corruption and dispute resolution, examining the ethical challenges faced by legal practitioners, arbitrators and judges in addressing allegations of corruption in litigation and arbitration proceedings. Corruption allegations can have profound implications for the integrity of the legal system and the legitimacy of dispute resolution outcomes, raising questions about due process, fairness and the rule of law. Come join us to delve into the topic of navigating corruption-related disputes, including the admissibility of evidence obtained through corrupt means and the enforcement of contracts tainted by bribery. We will also glean insights into the best practices for promoting transparency, accountability and integrity in dispute resolution processes, and examine the evolving standards and norms in addressing corruption-related issues in litigation and arbitration.
