Cyprus has its own Judicial system which is primarily based on the British Legal System. It is also subject to E.U. Laws since joining the E.U. in 2004. Whilst not all laws have been adopted ( because of the transition period allowed to new member States) it has signed up to many including Human Rights, free movement, patent laws. It will also shortly going to be a party to the Schengen Agreement It adopts the common law precedents system. If there is a lacunae then it tends to adopt higher Court Rulings of the U.K. Defamation ( Libel & Slander) Every person and organisation has a right to his, her or its good reputation. With the growth and speed of universal communication, reputations are being easily and frequently undermined. We can defend or institute actions for slander and libel. Mediation, ADR & Arbitrations Cyprus is leaning towards Alternative Dispute Resolution in all its forms. The use of ADR is central to part of its philosophy of seeking to achieve cost effective solutions to disputes wherever possible. Mediation can be particularly effective in two or multi party disputes, where total costs can quickly become disproportionate to even quite sizeable claims. The process of mediation can prove less acrimonious, more flexible and creative than litigation or arbitration and consequently help to preserve ongoing business relationships if a dispute arises.
