Dispute Resolution in New Zealand

This text provides a comprehensive overview of the main forms of dispute resolution operating in New Zealand, namely negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Relevant techniques and approaches are explored and evaluated, as are the ethical considerations and legal rules, where applicable. The book also explores the range of dispute resolution processes established through statute law, and contains valuable chapters on Maori and cross-cultural perspectives. The book is intended for university students of dispute resolution, those wishing to qualify for the Arbitration and Mediation Institution of New Zealand, those seeking accreditation through LEADR (Lawyers Engaged in Alternative Disupte Resolution), and academics and practitioners involved in the field.
