National e-Seminar organized at ICFAI University Dehradun

A national webinar on the subject of Commercial Courts Act, 2015 is organized at the ICFAI Law School of ICFAI University Dehradun. With the increase of economic activities in the country, there has also been an increase in economic disputes. Commercial courts have been set up across the country for speedy disposal of such cases. A webinar was organized to discuss various aspects of the Commercial Courts Act, in which Mr. Nitin Kumar Gupta, an eminent Advocate of the Supreme Court was invited as a keynote speaker.

Mr. Gupta, while giving his views on the various nuances of this law, said that the Commercial Court Act provides for a resolution through mediation before the filing of any case. As a result, 62 percent of economic disputes only in Delhi were resolved outside the court. He said that due to the effect of this law, there will be a rapid reduction in pending cases across the country.
