Law Minister Meghwal presents India's vision to become global arbitration hub at ICA London
New Delhi/ London, June 5 (UNI) Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal laid out India's roadmap to becoming a global hub for arbitration and dispute resolution at the 3rd International Conference on 'Arbitrating Indo-UK Commercial Disputes'. The conference was hosted by the Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA) at Church House Westminster, London, during the London International Disputes Week 2025. The event brought together senior dignitaries and legal experts from both India and the UK, including Chief Justice of India BR Gavai (inaugural address), Lord Briggs of Westbourne, Judge of the UK Supreme Court (keynote address) Vikram Doraiswami, High Commissioner of India to the UK (special address), Justice Hima Kohli, Supreme Court of India, Harish Salve KC, Senior Advocate and International Arbitrator, Sujit Ghosh, Deputy High Commissioner of India to the UK, Arun Chawla, Director General, ICA, Geeta Luthra, Senior Advocate and Vice President, ICA, Dr NG Khaitan, President of ICA and Senior Partner at Khaitan and Co., and Karishma Vora, Barrister at 39 Essex Chambers, London and Member of the ICA International Advisory Committee. Minister Meghwal underscored the importance of institutional arbitration, legislative reforms, and strategic global partnerships, as essential to strengthening investor confidence and boosting India's global economic standing. He noted that India's commitment is aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Key initiatives highlighted include, Amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act (2015, 2019, 2020) to ensure time-bound, confidential, and impartial processes. Formation of the Arbitration Council of India to promote institutional mechanisms. Abolition of automatic stay on arbitral awards. Promotion of mediated settlement and hybrid dispute resolution models. The Minister emphasized that mainstreaming arbitration and mediation will reduce pendency in Indian courts by diverting commercial disputes to faster, cost-effective forums. He pointed to the National Mediation Conference held in May 2025 in New Delhi addressed by the President of India as a significant step in institutionalizing mediation. "Clean, reliable, and cost-effective systems of dispute resolution are essential for India's growth as a global business hub," said Meghwal, adding that cooperation with countries like the UK and US will drive innovation and trust in legal systems. By aligning arbitration norms with international best practices and encouraging diversity in arbitrators, India aims to create a dispute resolution regime that is fair, transparent, and globally respected. The Indo-UK conference fostered legal and commercial ties between the two democracies and reinforced India's position as an emerging leader in international arbitration. Legal experts from both countries agreed that stronger arbitration frameworks will accelerate bilateral trade, especially following the India-UK Free Trade Agreement signed in May 2025, projected to double trade to $120 billion by 2030. The conference concluded with a strong call for continued collaboration, setting the tone for arbitration to become the default mechanism in commercial dispute resolution, relieving court burden and enhancing India's global legal stature.

Gary Bettman confirms New York Islanders will host 2027 NHL All-Star event
Gary Bettman confirms New York Islanders will host 2027 NHL All-Star event (Image Source: Getty Images) A major announcement was made just before the Stanley Cup Final. It involves the New York Islanders, a big hockey event, and something fans have been waiting to hear. This update came from the NHL's top voice. But some details are still unclear, and many questions remain. New York Islanders get 2027 NHL event after Bettman's speech On Saturday, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman spoke during his yearly 'State of the NHL' address. This happened about two hours before the 2025 Stanley Cup Final began. Bettman stated at this address that the New York Islanders will stage their first NHL event in 2027, at UBS Arena, the Islanders' home rink in Elmont, New York. Still uncertain, though, is the precise timetable of the called it an 'All-Star style' event, but said the full plan is being worked on. The decision comes after the NHL cancelled the 2026 All-Star Game. Instead of the usual format, the league plans an 'Olympic Send-Off' that also has no set structure yet. Gary Bettman confirms New York Islanders will host 2027 NHL All-Star event This new 2027 event appears to be a response to demands from New York's state leadership. Governor Kathy Hochul reportedly urged the NHL to give the Islanders a major event. Many believed it was fair, especially after the 2026 cancellation. So far, the Islanders have not given a public statement about the announcement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descuentos de Verano de último minuto RIU Hotels & Resorts Reservar Ahora Undo Also Read: New Islanders GM Evaluates Horvat And Palmieri Future Other key points from the NHL commissioner's address During the same address, Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly spoke on other topics too. One big point was about taxes. Some NHL teams, like those in Florida and Nevada, do not have state income tax. This can be helpful when offering player contracts. Teams in states like New York and California often mention this as a problem. It makes it harder for them to match deals from low-tax states. However, Bettman said the league will not take action on this issue. That means teams like the Islanders may still face challenges when signing top players. Bettman did not explain why the NHL is avoiding this topic. He simply said, 'We're not getting into it.' Though the Islanders have not made a statement, fans are now excited to see what the 2027 event will look like. The NHL has promised to share more updates as plans develop.
