The Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre (ADR Centre) launches its dedicated website

A modern hallway with a wall displaying signs for various legal and dispute resolution centers, including the New Zealand Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution. The area has large windows, plants, and a railing on the left side, allowing natural light to enter.

The ADR Centre launched its dedicated website. This follows the opening of the physical ADR Centre in August 2022, the first purpose-built centre for dispute resolution in New Zealand. The ADR Centre is the first true bricks-and-mortar centre for practitioners in New Zealand and a hub for dispute resolution services.

Catherine Green, Director of the ADR Centre, commented,

“Just as the ADR Centre was purpose-built as the physical hub for all of our brands, people, and practitioners, the new website is our virtual hub. It has been designed as a gateway to our brands, to showcase our world-class ADR facilities, and to help enhance and inform the experience of our ADR people, practitioners, and community.

She continued,

The launch of this dedicated website brings together our brands under one virtual roof. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre is the umbrella brand for our existing service lines: The Building Disputes Tribunal, the Independent Complaint and Review Authority, the New Zealand International Arbitration Centre, the New Zealand Dispute Resolution Centre, and the Family Dispute Resolution Centre.

The launch of this dedicated ADR Centre website demonstrates the increasing awareness and adoption of alternative dispute resolution as a fair and prompt alternative to litigation. Not only does it alleviate pressure on the courts, but in the current economy, our clients really appreciate the cost-effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution across a whole raft of services and industries.”

New Zealand still rated as global leader for public sector transparency, honesty and integrity

Transparency International has just released the 2021 Corruption Perception Index (CPI). New Zealand has retained its joint number one ranking along with Denmark, as having one of the least corrupt public sectors in the world. This year Finland joins the top-slot as third equal.

New Zealand’s score remains a “clean” 88/100, which is great news. However, the global average of 43/100 has also not moved. It has now been stagnant for ten years in a row. Two-thirds of the countries have scored below 50, indicting serious corruption problems. Of them, 27 have obtained their lowest scores ever. The figures reveal a worrying standstill in all regions of the world in the fight against public sector corruption. A summary of some of the issues raised in the CPI is below. The full report and supporting data can be found here.

Ten years in a leaky boat: Lucky just to keep afloat

In 1982 Split Enz released its now famous single Six Months in a Leaky Boat being a reference to the time it took pioneers to sail to New Zealand (it had nothing at all to do with being an attack on Britain’s invasion of the Falkland Islands which caused the BBC to discourage airplay of the song in Britain during the Falklands War – it was recorded in January 1982, months before the Falklands invasion). It has also been suggested that the lyrics are a metaphor for a relationship that could not be, the need to put our differences behind us and that there is a world to explore after ’the ship-wreck’, and to keep on trying where there’s wind in our sails. Neil Finn’s lyrics and the sentiment embodied in the song provide a strikingly apposite segue into the relationship property story that follows.
