DoJ and eBRAM sign supplemental MoU for ODR and deal-making platform
The Secretary for Justice, Ms Teresa Cheng, SC, signed a supplemental memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Chairman of eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre, Dr Thomas So, today (May 4) for supporting the development, enhancement and initial operation of the online dispute resolution (ODR) and deal-making platform. The development of ODR services and an online platform would enable the provision of efficient, cost-effective and secure online deal making and dispute resolution services for parties in any part of the world, so as to better capitalise on the opportunities brought about by the Belt and Road Initiative as well as the Greater Bay Area Development Plan, and further promote Hong Kong as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre.
