WASHINGTON - An overwhelming majority of voters say they prefer the solution legal disputes through mediation rather than legal protection in the courts, a new poll shows.

The survey of the US Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Legal Reform (ILR), as most voters say that the preferred option of arbitration as a method of resolution of consumers and workers of litigation, with 82% of voters prefer the ‘Dispute Arbitration as a means of Ernsten a dispute with a company. The US Chamber of Commerce Legal News Line.

The survey of 800 likely voters also found that 71 percent of respondents say they are against the efforts in Congress to abolish the agreements mandatory mediation of consumer contracts.

The clauses in consumer contracts, such as for credit cards, mobile phone companies, service providers, and employers are, in some contracts, and in the press, home and car purchases, said the experts.

Larry Akey, spokesman for the ILR, said Thursday, arbitration has been a place of fair, consumers and businesses, for resolving disputes.

The survey, conducted in December 2007, it should be “precautionary” Parliament, who regard the laws that explain voluntary agreements to resolve their differences through arbitration unenforceable, he said LNL.

“The other side of the elimination of mediation is clear that given the multitude of these rights are small claims dollars, they claimant who are in a situation where it would be difficult to find a lawyer to take their case” , “said Akey.

The Arbitral Tribunal Act fairness in the proposals presented by Senator Russ Feingold, D-Wis. And Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga. Enverrez-vous/poursuivrez-vous annihilate provisions of the arbitration, hundreds of millions of existing contracts, observers on both sides of the issue, said LNL.

Akey funnel arbitration clauses stated that the elimination of hundreds of thousands of consumers and employment in the cases already overburdened state and the Federal Court.

But Lincoln Taylor, Research Director of Public Citizen’s Congress Watch, said that if the law passed, consumers to resume some of their rights.

Taking arbitration, he said, is not the same as a consumer and a shop to a mediator hammer their differences.

“It’s not as if you need to work in mediation, things before going to court,” said Lincoln LNL.

“If you opt for a compulsory binding arbitration, that’s all, it’s the end of the road” a consumer, in a legal sense.

He said that companies choose arbitrators, and it contributes to the reconciliation of their services.

The US Chamber of Commerce, and are allies are preparing for a battle of the “Arbitration Act, fair play,” the legislation pending in both houses of Congress, the strike agreements mandatory mediation in consumption and employment contracts. Contrarié owner would have the right to sue - but not necessarily the possibility of mediation, unless the company agreed.

The fronts are clear: the United States Chamber, which represents the interests of the economy, is struggling to a wave of complaints against its members, consumers outside any judicial process. The American Association of justice, lawyers, he believes, the consumer wants to ensure, retain the right to the claim of increased use in the arena of the courts.

In a Chamber Institute for Legal Reform of the press conference today, the companies of his group of cases in triplicate. First, came in the form of anecdotal evidence Sears Michigan woman who has an arbitration concerning a boiler $ 288 repair bill and won (they have believed, it is likely to arbitration of the dispute).

The next step was the development of the Group’s results indicating that consumers do not support an end to compulsory arbitration. Directed by the team party Polling public opinion and strategies Benenson Strategy Group, the study finds that consumers have refused to appeal and, if it so choose, it would be preferable to arbitration, “in the words of Facilitators Bill McInturff Public Opinion Strategies. (A few questions seemed somewhat result in a non eye - for example, the perception of an arbitrator, which is defined as “neutral 3rd-party”, a definition that groups public interest, with its challenges by asserting that arbitrators often alignment with the business, for them.)

Finally, Catholic University professor Peter Rutledge university and morality against the law. Dropping compulsory arbitration, he said, “the quilt resolved dispute settlement.” Citing numerous categories of arbitration, in which the consumer has already won the majority of cases, Rutledge suggested that complaints would kill the incentive for companies to respond more small claims. Finally, he noted that the prohibition of pre-dispute settlement procedure of the agreement would lead to a greater burden on the judges’ labels by smoothing the path for the class of shares.

But where journalists would be in the presence of an opposing position? The American Association for Justice, the Association of Lawyers for the process, had ensured that: The association sent a representative to the press conference, journalists pochierte ‘name for the follow-up calls.

Juliet Duncan, AAJ counsel for legislative affairs, said his association has set a goal to prevent companies from “cessation of… rules of the game and the situation buried in a clause in a contract, if the consumer fail to recognize the impact of having First at a later date. ”

Compulsory arbitration, which sometimes dictated a certain referee in a state that is, by nature, is going on vis-à-vis customer companies, it argues, because they have an arbitrator’s regular customers.

Duncan would not predict if the law of arbitration will in the coming days or weeks, but it is full of hope.

“I would take into account the wide has 86 cosponsors, and it is both parties,” she says.

Leeds United’s imperative to reverse its 15 penalty points in the good hands of the three heavyweights of law, “if their case, the arbitration is to listen, the world’s largest sports-business lawyer.

Cybersquatting is running, according to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), last week published the statistics on cases of international applications under its Internet Domain Name System dispute settlement procedure.

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center in 2007 recorded 2156 complaints of uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), and 18 percent more than in 2006 and 48 percent more than in 2005. The number of cases where, for the first time above the plate in the years 2000, just after the introduction of the UDRP and for the first time exceeded 2000 cases.

Deputy Director-General of WIPO, Francis Gurry said that the increase in cases as a result of reductions in the number of years expressed its concern about the possible introduction of the new Top-Level Domains (eg. Com ), and by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the end of 2008.

“The purpose of the potential usefulness of new domain names would be disappointed if it is filled with automated pay-per-click content,” says Gurry. This is not just a problem of the protection of rights of holders marks, but also a question of the reliability of the system of Internet addresses corresponding to parties interested in the real issues. “Dit Gurry.

Gurry domain name of “taste” and privacy or proxy services such as saving big problems for trademark owners and managers. ICANN has already reacted with regard to the tasting - a practice that allows short-term, applications for registration of free names - the rules on transfer of tasters to pay the fee ICANN in the future . The sample was interesting for those who, among other things, the so-called parking sites, the pay-per-click on these pages advertising.

Torsten Bettinger, the WIPO Arbitration Arbitration Centre and author of the recently published manual on the legal domain name, said: “We see a large number of so-called” parking sites’, that make the click-through transport. I think it is for most of the growth in the number of cases. ”

Whereas in the past Grabber for sale of domain names on the trademark owner, in the first place, the new business model, it was that the money in the clickthrough rates. Not only Domain “parkers” itself, but also to service providers, provide services, parking should be held responsible, “said Bettinger, a German company in an action before the Court of Justice of Germany.

Bettinger agreed that additional cybersquatting cases can be expected when new TLDs up by ICANN. Meticulous preparation against the risk of “cybersquatting,” and Bing falling from the bustle and the approach is to recommend ICANN bed Inger said, and added that he had since improved Anti-cybersquatting policy newly introduced as TLDs. Asia.

Despite concerns about WIPO, Bing tomb addresses in the new TLDs, the majority of cases. Commission addresses, which covers nearly three quarters (73.6 percent) of all cases. The total number of the matter. From 2424 domain names is 2139 and 2006. Second rank in the list. Net 287 in the year 2007 (203 in 2006). The files. Info-field, one of the new domain names, in third place, with inscriptions to the dispute 78-245. New domain names may not be as interesting model for parking because of the reduction in traffic, Inger bed.

Case enrollment in the country code TLDs (ccTLDs, for example. Ch for Switzerland), that the use of WIPO to resolve disputes, increased from 201 (2006), 251 (2007). Friday addresses, statistics accounting for 75 names disputed by Fourth place in 2006 (with only 20 names disputed). In the context of litigation Spanish and Swiss ccTLD second and third.

The five complaints were designed for the areas of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, banking and finance, information technology and the Internet, retail and entertainment, said WIPO. Pharmaceutical Manufacturers remained beginning by many storage units protected variations of names registered for Web sites or links to online offer, the distribution of medicines, “she said.

Whatever relatively stable, the country is at the root of the complaint and the country of residence of the complainant - with the American leaders of the two lists below. Overall, WIPO has decided to 12,334 cases of UDRP, between December 1999 and December 2007. Even from afar, the majority of decisions of expert bodies WIPO mean that the transfer of domain names at issue. Among the three-quarters of cases, the panels - a quarter without a decision Panel - a transfer of 85% on order.

But it is also critical voices, request an audit of the UDRP allow for effective counter-measures against Reverse Domain Name diversion. According to these critics, there are a number of requests to the UDRP provide proof of the bad faith of registration, and even database on the basis of false hope, that the case of interviewees are described not, and they earn the field. While some cases of misuse of reverse domain name can be found on the expansion of WIPO’s online right index page UDRP cases, there are no photos for the year 2007.

WIPO is one of three active suppliers UDRP accredited to ICANN, in the governance of the private economy with a market area. The US National Arbitration Forum (NAF), a month ago has also spoken about the increase in reports of patients. It covers 1,805 cases during the year 2007. The Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre has registered only 34 applications during the year 2007. A new competitor to the body conciliation, arbitration of the Czech Republic (ACC), which is based in Prague, was established by ICANN that in the month of January this year as a supplier UDRP
