Navigating Commercial Disputes: Traditional vs. Modern Resolution Methods in African and the European Legal Systems

The lecture aims to delve into the complexities of resolving commercial disputes within the frameworks of African and European legal systems. The discourse will juxtapose traditional dispute resolution mechanisms, deeply rooted in cultural and customary practices, against modern methodologies employed in both regions. Exploring indigenous methods such as mediation, arbitration and customary law prevalent in various African jurisdictions and highlights the strengths and limitations of these mechanisms in addressing commercial disputes within African contexts. It then contrasts the transmigration of European Dispute Resolution into Africa and its implications for the resolution of commercial disputes.
