Alternate Dispute Resolution Committee

ADR is the mechanism for settling of disputes by means other than formal litigation; such as arbitration, mediation, or minitrials. For reducing the burden of pending cases in the courts at all levels of judicial hierarchy and expeditious dispensation of justice, implementation of ADR legal framework is to be ensured across the country. In this regard, a proposal for implementation of legal framework of ADR in Pakistan was placed before the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Pakistan/ Chairman, LJCP. His Lordship has been pleased to approve the proposal and constitute an ADR Committee to supervise the process of implementation of ADR legal framework across the country and ensure coordinated and concerted efforts to implement the ADR laws by the relevant stakeholders.
