Episode 2 of Expert views on ADR revealed some of the factors that contributed to the recent use of ADR or the rise of ADR in various jurisdictions- which was as a result of delay and cost of litigation. Thus these factors provided an avenue for litigants to move towards ADR.

Against this backdrop, Mr Steve Adikaibe, a practising lawyer in Nigeria, points out the advantages or benefits of ADR with a clear intention of educating potential users.

Questions have been asked whether there is any difference between the present ADR and the traditional method of settling a dispute in Africa (TAMSD)? In a bid to answer this question I  have invited Mr Kenneth Josiah, a renowned legal practitioner in Nigeria to share his view or throw more light on the topic in this first episode.
