Compulsory ADR out of the weeds - will the court order parties to mediate?

Nicola Bridge, Leah Alpren-Waterman and Rob Wilson of Mishcon de Reya LLP explain that the recent UK Court of Appeal judgment in Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil CBC  [2023] EWCA Civ 1416  signifies a significant shift towards compulsory ADR, departing from the previous stance set in Halsey v Milton Keynes General NHS Trust; it highlights the court's newfound authority to order parties to engage in ADR, provided it aligns with principles of fairness, legitimate aims, and proportionality to achieving those aims and marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of ADR within the civil justice system.
