| Arbitration Law in England and applicability in Sri Lanka in terms ...
England as a major trading nation developed arbitration law since mid 1880 in order to meet the needs of the commercial men. International trade was the lifeblood of many industries and the problems with the enforcement of judgements abroad and the problems with the conflict of laws arising from private international law led to sophisticated developments in arbitration law. Dispute resolution by way of arbitration in England has existed for as long as the common law was in practice. It is only recently that there has developed a distinct branch of jurisprudence termed arbitration law. Arbitration is a consensual process. It is possible to go through the process of arbitration without interference from the court system. But it is safer to get court involved for easy implementation of the decisions arrived by the arbitration tribunal.
Colombia Prez-ELN Approach in Suspense
Havana, Apr 18 (Prensa Latina) The talks between the Colombian government and the National Liberation Army (ELN) taking place in Havana remain with marked differences and thus an eventual peace process is in suspense. Colombias High Peace Commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo announced President Alvaro Uribes decision to accept a temporary cease of hostilities, based on one of the points proposed by the guerrilla organization. However, insurgent head Pablo Beltran insisted on defining an agreement as a base for the negotiation agenda, without previous conditions. The new government position establishes the rebel units territorial location, which could hinder progress of the talks that began on Tuesday. An initial half hour meeting was the beginning of the current negotiation round, while the sides planned to continue exchanges with Fr.
Old tensions flare up before board
But in the discussion, the supervisors passed on a move aimed at mending fences between Edge and the Civil Service Commission after Edge branded two supervisors' peace proposal "a major mistake." The reorganization itself is not controversial. It creates the position of deputy director of human resources and moves some other people around within the administrative and human resources offices, at a cost of $187,000 annually. But the way it was handled has been a bone of contention. The quarrel erupted last year when Edge sought to move Hossli — then a principal administrative analyst working for him — to the new human resources deputy director slot. The commission balked because Edge's proposal didn't require the deputy director to have human resources experience commissioners thought necessary.
Qualcomm files arbitration suit over Nokia patent use
Qualcomm has made a demand with the American Arbitration Association in an attempt to resolve its dispute over licencing fees with Nokia. The chipmaker requests a ruling that Nokia's continued use of its patents in CDMA handsets after 9 April, when the companies' current licencing deal expires, would constitute an election by Nokia to extend its licence under the existing agreement. Such an extension would obligate Nokia to pay Qualcomm the same royalty specified in the current agreement and prohibit Nokia from asserting patent claims against Qualcomm CDAM products. Qualcomm is also seeking a ruling to terminate all of Nokia's rights and licences under the agreement if Nokia sues Qualcomm for patent infringement after 9 April. Print | Comment | Mail
