In a recently published judgment by Mr Justice Mostyn, referring to a complex land trust dispute, he drew attention to the advantages of arbitration.
“Where parties are agreed that their case should be afforded total privacy there is a very simple solution: they sign an arbitration agreement.
“Arbitration has long been available in proceedings such as these. Recently arbitration has also become available in financial remedy proceedings by virtue of the much-to-be-welcomed scheme promoted by the Institute of Family Law Arbitrators.
“In those proceedings also privacy can now be guaranteed.”
