Online
dispute resolution in India and e-courts
in India are two areas that are still undeveloped. ODR
in India is not a part and parcel of either the legal
framework or the judicial system. We do not use ODR for
dispute resolution in India.
Similarly, although we have a few computerised
courts in India yet we are still waiting for the establishment of
first
e-courts of India. We are still claiming that India has
established many e-courts but in reality we do not have even a single
e-court in India.
Technology related disputes are on rise in India and
globally. However, suitable and consumer friendly dispute resolution
mechanisms are missing especially for e-commerce disputes.
Some of the emerging areas in India in these
directions are Domain
Name Dispute Resolution in India, Corporate
Disputes and Online Dispute Resolution in India,
International
Commercial Arbitration in India and ODR, E-Commerce
Dispute Resolution in India, International
Online Dispute Resolution, Dispute
Resolution in Technology Transactions, Online
Commercial Arbitration In India, Online
Dispute Resolution Standards Of Practice For India And Asia, Legal
Standards For Online Dispute Resolution For Cross-Border Electronic
Transactions, Dispute
Resolution Of Cross Border Technology Transactions, UNCITRAL,
ODR And India, Online
Dispute Resolution And Cross Border E-Commerce Transactions, etc.
The need for techno legal ODR services in India
would increase in the future. We must formulate suitable techno legal
frameworks in India on the one hand and adoption of ODR and e-courts
in India on the other.
Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB)
has been managing the exclusive Techno
Legal Centre of Excellence for Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) in
India (TLCEODRI). Further, PTLB is also providing the
exclusive Techno
Legal Online Dispute Resolution Services in India. The
exclusive Techno Legal Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Centre of
India is also managed by PTLB.
In the absence of government initiatives, private
initiatives by institutions like PTLB have assumed great
significance. Very soon these initiatives may also be part and parcel
of international ODR and e-courts projects and initiatives.
