To mark the occasion, dignitaries representing the Ministry of Justice and Security (Anita Vegter on behalf of the Minister), the Supreme Court (Ernst Numann), the Council for the Judiciary (Henk Naves) and the Municipality of Amsterdam (Udo Kock) and former Akzo Nobel general counsel Sven DuMoulin joined Amsterdam Court of Appeal president Herman van der Meer, Amsterdam District Court president Christa Wiertz-Wezenbeek and NCC Court of Appeal president Duco Oranje at a formal opening ceremony at the Palace of Justice in Amsterdam on 6 February 2019.

This is the culmination of three years of legislative and organisational work. It sets the stage for NCC’s mission - pioneering English-language dispute resolution in the Amsterdam courts.

NCC is well positioned to swiftly and effectively resolve international business disputes. Proceedings and judgments are in English. The NCC has the tools to communicate effectively and provide swift and firm guidance in complex litigation.
