The MARC Commission  met for its second meeting of 2015 on May 18. Main topics discussed included ADR in the construction industry, legal framework for mediation and training. Since the last meeting, meetings held with members of the sub-committee on construction and subsequently, with the council members of BACECA.  BACECA and MARC are currently collaborating to present a common position paper on improving ADR practices in the  construction industry. The introduction of a legislative framework on mediation was also discussed ; such a framework would contribute towards reinforcement of a mediation culture in Mauritius, besides additional benefits such as enforcement mechanisms for mediation agreement, protection of confidentiality.
