Pakistan's legal fraternity basks in pride as the Honorable Mr. Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and the Honorable Mr. Justice Jawad Hassan grace the 5th Full Meeting of the Standing International Forum of Commercial Courts in Doha, Qatar. Hosted by the esteemed Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre, the event witnessed the gathering of 170 Judges from over 50 jurisdictions, all convened to share best practices in commercial dispute resolution and fortify the rule of law.

The participation of Pakistan's esteemed justices underscores the nation's unwavering commitment to the rule of law and the continual improvement of commercial dispute resolution mechanisms. Their presence not only elevates Pakistan's stature on the global legal stage but also provides a platform to showcase the nation's evolving legal landscape and share invaluable insights and experiences.

Reflecting on Pakistan's remarkable journey in legal evolution, Mian Sheraz Javaid, a prominent figure in Pakistan's legal community, fondly recalls a pivotal meeting in 2022. This meeting, facilitated by Javaid, between Justice Robert Knowles and the Honorable Justices Ali Shah and Hassan, paved the path for Pakistan's membership in the prestigious Standing International Forum of Commercial Courts (SIFoCC). Today, witnessing the justices represent Pakistan at SIFoCC, Javaid's pride knows no bounds.

The impact of such prestigious engagements extends beyond mere representation. Justice Ali Shah's pioneering efforts in establishing Court Annexed Mediation Centres across Punjab, coupled with Justice Hassan's instrumental role in establishing Commercial Courts in the province, reflect Pakistan's judiciary's unwavering dedication to enhancing legal efficiency and effectiveness. These efforts serve as a testament to Pakistan's commitment to upholding the rule of law and fostering a conducive environment for commercial dispute resolution, propelling the nation towards legal excellence on the global stage.
