The Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, has encouraged Ghanaians to use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve disputes instead of the traditional court processes.

This alternative, she said, would go a long way to avoid the huge debt incurred by parties involved in a dispute.

The Chief Justice, her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, has declared Monday 13th to Friday 17th November, 2023 as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Week for this Legal Year Term.

The rationale for the ADF week is to afford the ADR Directorate of the Judicial Service the opportunity to engage the general public to inform the citizenry of the presence of ADR within the court system, its importance in seeking justice and how to take advantage of such an important process for a meaningful access to justice especially the poor and the vulnerable.

The use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in settling conflicts has superior benefits compared to the court system, President of the Ghana National Association of ADR Practitioners (GNAAP), Mr Daniel Owusu-Koranteng has said.

“Beyond the cost effectiveness and timely benefits of ADR, it is able to reconcile disputants to de-escalate conflicts and prevent them from degenerating to vio­lent levels,” he said.

Daniel Owusu-Koranteng, President of the Ghana National Association of ADR Practitioners (GNAAP), says the requirement for the appointment of management of institutions in the country should include vital knowledge of conflict resolution.

According to him, a good knowledge of conflict resolution by a head of institution provides efficient operation and coordination of the organisation.

PRACTITIONERS of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) have been urged to embrace digitalisation in the discharge of their professional duties.

President of the Ghana National Association of ADR Practitioners (GNAAP), Daniel Owusu-Koranteng, at a mandatory continuing professional development workshop for its members on Saturday in Accra charged ADR practitioners to develop interest in digitalisation in order to speed up the practice of ADR both locally and internationally.
