Join us for the October Auckland Networking Meeting, where Peter Jones will delve into the unique and impactful process of conciliation in New Zealand.
Read more about his topic titled 'Conciliation – NZ Fashion'
'In many countries, mediation and conciliation are interchangeable terms. In our country and those which have a process defined, conciliation has the added gloss above mediation that the neutral can propose – formally and usually with reasons – solutions that can become binding.
It’s a defined form of med/arb, or what could even be called “determinative mediation”.
Conciliation lives on in the standard terms of sharemilking agreement under the Sharemilking Agreements Order 2011.
The idea of this NZ conciliation process came from various iterations of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act that we had had since 1894. It’s not a new structure. It can work spectacularly well.'
Start your morning with a blend of networking and learning. This event provides a platform for professionals, both seasoned AMINZ members and newcomers, to connect and share insights into the dispute resolution community.
