KARACHI
CENTRE FOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION
KCDR resolved a case pending since 4 years in
the High Court of Sindh through 12 hours of
mediation
The cases
arose out of a dispute between two parties. One party
based in Dubai, deals in trading commodities across the
globe. The other party, a private limited company based
in Karachi, Pakistan was also a trading concern. Around 5
years back, both parties entered into an agreement to
export goods from Pakistan. After a couple of initial
shipments that went as agreed, problems arose around the
timings and other logistic arrangements for shipping the
goods. Both parties blamed each other for non-performance
of the agreement and loss of revenues, profits and
reputation. Both the parties sued each other in the High
Court of Sindh for US $ 13 million in claim and counter
claim suits for losses and
damages. Karachi
Centre for Dispute Resolution (KCDR) helped resolve both
cases that had been a cause of litigation between the two
for the last four years. A KCDR registered mediator
facilitated the parties to reach settlement in two
sessions of mediation lasting 12 hours. The settlement
has been filed in the High Court of Sindh and cases
disposed of on the agreed terms. Such cases typically
take 8 – 10 years of litigation before a final verdict
