In this video, Msiya and Belinda discuss conventional and alternative dispute resolution in Botswana, and the rise of arbitration in the context of commercial disputes.
Key topics include:
- the benefits of conventional and alternative dispute resolution (ADR):
- the costs of conventional dispute resolution versus those of ADR;
- whether criticism of Botswana’s reaction to COVID-19 is fair with regard to justice delayed;
- whether the use of such 20/20 hindsight is an appropriate way to assess Botswana’s reaction to the pandemic;
- what the next steps for dispute resolution in Botswana are likely to be in the wake of the pandemic – in particular, the question of infrastructure; and
- will greater choice (optionality) be the “golden child” of the COVID-19 experience?
