Of particular interest are the Key Note addresses from Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls and Lord Kerr of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Lord Dyson will deliver an important re appraisal of the Halsey case in which he delivered the lead Judgement almost exactly 10 years to the day before the CLA Belfast Mediation Conference. Lord Kerr will consider whether the encouragement to mediation compromises the rights of parties. Also of especial interest will be the contributions from Professor Laurence Boulle - author of many leading publications about mediation, dealing with principles and practice and policy across the world. It is a real honour to have Professor Boulle attend this Conference. The contributions from other practitioners both local and international will further enhance the Conference as will the address from Minister of Justice David Ford.
