The Association was formed in 2013 and has taken over number of activities which were earlier implemented by IFC/World Bank Group’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Pakistan Project Phase 1 & 2.

This concept is recognized globally as first dispute resolution mechanism. Pakistan has gone a long way in considering to reduce the burden on the judicial system by introducing various alternate dispute resolution legislations which include but are not limited to…

  • Section 89A of CPC, 1908, Alternate Dispute Resolution Act, 2017
  • Trade Resolution Act, 2017
  • Amendment proposed for legislation with a draft of Mediation Act by some provinces in Section 89A
