Three disputes have been referred to the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry for mediation by the Lahore High Court (LHC), according to LCCI President Abdul Basit who addressed a news conference here on Friday.
He said one was resolved amicably in only two hours, while the other two were still undergoing mediation.
The LCCI president said that the initiative was adopted after the recent visit of LHC Chief Justice Mansoor Ali Shah to the LCCI.
Abdul Basit said that the LCCI was also planning to provide case assessment facilities to businessmen. He said it would enable them to decide whether their case would be acceptable for the court or not.
He said that the LCCI had established a mediation centre for out-of-court settlement of business disputes, adding that cases at the centre were being handled by more than 40 experienced mediators.
