The Hongqiao International Central Legal-services District in Shanghai recently advanced its regional legal services through a cross-jurisdiction arbitration hearing involving Shanghai and Jiaxing city, Zhejiang province.
Supported by the Shanghai Arbitration Commission Hongqiao Center and the Jiaxing Arbitration Commission, the success facilitated the integration of services across the Yangtze River Delta, enhancing arbitration's convenience and efficiency.
This case concerned a dispute over a technical service contract between two parties in Shanghai. The collaboration between the Shanghai and Jiaxing arbitration institutions facilitated a smoother process, allowing for same-day mediation and the preparation of legal documents.
The Shanghai Arbitration Commission provided the venue, while Jiaxing arbitrators led the hearing, cutting travel needs for the parties and improving the efficiency of dispute resolution.
The Shanghai Arbitration Commission promotes regional growth by sharing resources with other arbitration bodies. This allows parties to obtain expert arbitration services nearby, reducing the need for travel. Businesses have welcomed this system, noting that tasks previously necessitating a trip to Jiaxing can now be done with a brief drive within Shanghai.
The arbitrators involved in the case praised the partnership, emphasizing enhanced service efficiency and high standards. This collaboration demonstrates the advantages of coordinated development among arbitration institutions and represents a significant breakthrough in regional arbitration efforts.
The Shanghai Arbitration Commission plans to continue collaborating with regional bodies to innovate and establish a world-class arbitration hub. Its strategic location helps the Hongqiao Center boost its status as a legal center. The partnership with the Jiaxing Arbitration Commission improves the dispute resolution capacity of the Hongqiao International Central Legal-services District and establishes a benchmark for developing a leading legal service hub serving the Yangtze River Delta and further regions.
