Mixed reaction to Mbeki's role in Zim mediation
The Southern African Development Community's (SADC) decision to appoint President Thabo Mbeki as mediator in Zimbabwe was both lauded and ridiculed on Friday. "The Inkatha Freedom Party [IFP] welcomes the SADC's decision to call on President Thabo Mbeki to lead efforts to promote discussions between rival political parties in Zimbabwe," IFP spokesperson Ben Skosana said in a statement. The party had recently called for an honest broker, such as Mbeki, to organise all relevant factions in Zimbabwe to start negotiating. "We are therefore extremely pleased that the IFP's suggestions were echoed by SADC, and we hope to see constructive talks between Zanu-PF and [the opposition Movement for Democratic Change] MDC, so that democracy in one of the most troubled countries on the African continent can be restored," Skosana said.
NASD Did Me Wrong, Claims Broker
Ex-Merrill Lynch broker Christopher Pan, has accused the NASD of handing him the short end of the stick in an arbitration case. The New York Post reports that Jeffrey Liddle, a lawyer representing Pan, is accusing Sherri Hughes, a veteran NASD dispute resolution arbitrator, of having ruled on the merits of Pan's claim before his legal team has formally filed documentation related to the arbitration. His charges are based on an e-mail sent by Hughes to two other panelists instructing them to dismiss Pan's defamation claim against Merrill. Liddle claims the problem here is he was denied his well-established right to argue the claim. Arbitration panel are forbidden to discuss case merits before arguments have been made. .
