A passionate interest in Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) and a firm conviction that ODR has the potential to transform civil justice now.I was Chair of Claims Portal Limited from 2010 - 2022.

This was a precursor the Briggs Report which advocated the Online Court.I then developed my ODR work by attending and participating in a series of international ODR conferences (The Hague 2015, Paris 2017, Liverpool 2018, Auckland 2018, London 2018, Dublin 2022, Bengalaru 2023) which resulted in a close study of a number of ODR developers, including the Civil Resolution Tribunal in British Columbia (https://civilresolutionbc.ca), NuvaLaw (NuvaLaw.com), RDO (https://www.linkedin.com/company/resolvedisputes-online), PiCARBS (www.picarbs.co.uk), Disputes Efiling (https://www.disputesefiling.com), SmartSettle (https://smartsettle.com), Modron (https://www.modron.com/spaces), CREK (https://crekodr.com) Resolver (https://www.resolver.co.uk), Immediation (https://www.immediation.com/) and others.
