Inthefiscalyear2014,THACarbitrationcenter

has worked on numerous projects in order to

introduce,promoteandsupportalternativedispute

resolution (ADR) in Thailand for the benefit of

businessowners,studentsandthegeneralpublic.

Some of the work are in the field of internal

organization of the Center, such as work to fine

tune the processes and a long-term planning to

prevent unnecessary loss and setback in the

business. Often time, business disputes are

inevitable when there are more than one party

involved.TheCenteraimstoprovideanalternative

toconflictsanddisputessettlementthatmayarise

betweenbusinesspartners.Moreover, theCenter

will also work to introduce and promote the

rules and laws in order to reduce or prevent

problems inarbitration inThailand,especially for

disputesarisingoutofgovernmentcontractswith

theprivatesector,particularly inlargeprojectsor

concessions. On 14th July 2015, the Center, in

cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, had

pushedfortheamendingoftheCabinetresolution

dated28thJuly2009toallowforarbitrationclauses

in most public contracts without requiring prior

approvalfromtheCabinet.

On a different note, in 2015, as part of

the plan to the continued improvement and

development in arbitration system and ADR

services, the Center has strived to develop

cooperation and partnerships with other ADR

institutes abroad to exchange information and

share experiences. As a newly establishedentity,

theCenterseestheimportanceinlearningthrough

other’s past experiences and the exchange of

technical knowledge and information will pave

way for theCenter todevelop its own strategies

in order to offer appropriate trainings, activities

and seminars in the future. Furthermore, the

plan to seek cooperation and partnership is also

executed locally. The Center has met with the

OfficeoftheConsumerProtectionBoard(OCPB)to
