Ahmedabad | Tuesday | 13th August, 2019

Summary:

He pointed out that emotions are a determining factor in relationships, but there is nothing in court proceedings that can address emotions. He further said court proceedings subject litigants to high-level of anxiety, anticipation, and frustration, whereas mediation eliminates all of them. “These (large scale migrations) to settled civilisations are not things that matter a lot. Otherwise, it is not very hard to imagine how large scale migration can unsettle civilizations. Justice Bobde also suggested that Gujarat National Law University should come up with a degree course on mediation so that there is no dearth of trained mediators in the future..
