Episode 28: ADR and workplace conflict: a Nigerian Perspective with Professor Paul Idornigie, SAN, C.Arb (UK)
I was honoured to interview Professor Paul Idornigie on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) show. He is a Professor of Commercial Law at Veritas University, Abuja, Nigeria; he is also a Chartered Secretary and Chartered Arbitrator (UK), a Notary Public for Nigeria and an Author. Professor Paul is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). SAN is a title that may be conferred on legal practitioners in Nigeria of not less than ten (10) years of standing and who have distinguished themselves in the legal profession. It is the equivalent of the rank of Queen's Counsel in the United Kingdom.
Prof was also a Senior Lecturer at the Nigerian Law School Abuja, was involved in the setting up of the Abuja and Asaba Multidoor Courthouses, a former member of the National Executive Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association and was former Chairman Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (UK), Abuja Chapter. In this episode, we analysed the following questions:
1) How far has ADR enhanced access to Justice in Nigeria?
2) Is there any measurable difference or impact on the Cost and Time Frame for settling disputes under ADR Compared to litigation? Or what is the likely timeframe for resolving a workplace conflict or dispute through mediation?
3) Are employees or workers aware of ADR options regarding disputes or conflicts that might arise at the workplace?
4) To what extent are employees encouraged to use ADR to settle discrimination, bullying and harassment in the workplace-Nigeria is the given context?
5) Why is ADR more prevalent or popular in the more complex societies (in this context UK) than in the less complex societies (Nigeria)?
6) What is the way forward for mass advocacy or awareness of the benefits of utilising ADR in settling disputes or conflicts in the workplace?
7) Can Conflict or disputes at the workplace be prevented or avoided?
8) What type of mediation is best suited for workplace conflict?
9) What are the benefits of using Mediation to settle workplace conflicts?
10) What are the disadvantages of using Mediation to settle workplace conflicts?
11) Is there any difference between Mediation and Conciliation?
12) What is your advice for people pursuing a career in ADR?
