1. VADR CPD Event – Gina Ralston: The Work of the DSCV in the Magistrate’s Court
You are cordially invited to a VADR CPD Event on Thursday, 24 July when Gina Ralston, Director of the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria will speak on The Work of the DSCV in the Magistrates’ Court. The DSC aims to prevent the escalation of low level community disputes with early intervention and prevention. Unfortunately many people seek direct assistance from the police and courts, as a quick fix to their dispute. The DSCV has been working closely with the Magistrate’s Court to divert defended civil matters (under $40,000) and appropriate Personal Safety Intervention Order matters to mediation. Gina will talk about the success and challenges of working with clients who want their day in court and the art of persuading them into mediation.
