About us
The Sikh Court is an ADR forum – it offers a mediation and arbitration service applying UK Laws, in the form of a Med-Arb process, which melds together mediation and arbitration. This encourages resolution in a mediation stage, but can deliver a binding decision to give finality in a mandatory arbitration stage.
The Sikh Court will operate under the framework of the Arbitration Act 1996 and will, at first, hear family disputes that are founded in a legal cause of action. If the dispute can be bought before a court of law in England and Wales, then it can be bought before The Sikh Court.
