Press release - HKMAAL 1st Anniversary Celebration
9 October 2013
Hong Kong – 11 October 2013
The Hong Kong Mediation Accreditation Mediation Association Limited ("HKMAAL”)
is pleased to announce that its 1st anniversary Celebration Event
will take place on 11 October 2013 at 38th floor, Two Exchange
Square, Central. The Secretary for
Justice, The Hon Mr Rimsky Yuen SC, JP and The Hon Mr Justice Johnson Lam VP have kindly
agreed to be the guests of honour. Furthermore 62 stakeholders in the mediation industry have been invited to share
our joy and excitement at the celebration event.
HKMAAL is established as the premier accreditation body for mediators
in Hong Kong, discharging standards setting, accreditation and disciplinary
functions. Whilst it will set standards for mediation training courses, HKMAAL
itself will not provide courses.
"HKMAAL is an all-inclusive accreditation body with a broad range of
mediators from different professions and background on its panel.” said Mr John Budge, the Chairman of HKMAAL. "After one year of operation, HKMAAL has become one of the largest accreditation bodies in Hong Kong with over
1,000 mediators on its panel. Our
long term aim is to eventually become a statutory body and to be the sole accreditation body for mediators in Hong Kong.”
HKMAAL was founded by The Hong Kong Bar
Association, The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Hong Kong
Mediation Centre and the Law Society of Hong Kong. Recently CEDR Asia Pacific, Hong Kong Institute
of Arbitrators, The Hong Kong Institute of Architects and The Hong Kong
Institute of Surveyors have also joined HKMAAL as corporate members. The objective of HKMAAL is to set high
professional standards for the mediation industry in Hong
Kong.
