04/02/2008

The chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, Rimsky Yuen SC, has called�for co-operation between the�legal profession and the government to promote Hong Kong as a centre for alternative dispute resolution in the Asia-Pacific region.

Speaking at the opening of the Law Term dinner, Yuen SC said: "If Hong Kong is to live up to her image as Asia's�world city and stand out as the legal services hub of Asia, a cutting-edge ADR infrastructure is indispensable."

"The provision of premises for the setting up of an ADR centre where parties can conduct arbitration or mediation is definitely one of the ways in which the government is in a unique position to assist", he said.�
