Brazilian legal proceedings specialist, Ada Pellegrini Grinover, Friday in Luanda, appealed to Angola's judicial authorities to widely publicise the advantages of the alternative methods of conflict resolution, as a way to help relived the pressure on the courts.

According to the Brazilian specialist, the use of alternative methods of conflict resolution, the resort to conciliation, mediation and arbitration, in addition to relieving the organs of justice, have the advantage of speed, trust and social peace.

To her, conciliatory justice has as its functional basis to meet the crisis in the judicial sector as, she added, the more the citizens become aware of their rights and the legislation facilitate their access, the more the courts will be busy and delay in ruling on cases, even the simplest ones.

According to the specialist, arbitration is an advantageous alternative in the resolution of business disputes as, besides being speedy, the parties have the possibility of seeing the process to be carried out in secrecy, without affecting their credibility in the market.

As she added, the good functioning of the arbitration system constitutes as well a factor of attraction of investments into the country.
