不動產爭議解決與區塊鏈之連結

10月25日下午舉辦「不動產爭議解決與區塊鏈之連結」研討會，由本會與中華不動產仲裁協會在本會共同主辦。首先由本會李永然常務理事代表協會致歡迎詞，李常理表示：現行法院訴訟案件劇增，希望透過訴訟外紛爭解決機制的運用來疏解訟源，尤其是透過專業的仲裁人士組成仲裁庭來審理，將更具可信度。將區塊鏈應用在仲裁制度上，是很棒的構想。

本次研討會分為二場議題進行，第一場為「區塊鏈與不動產租賃仲裁」，邀請逢甲大學土地管理學系陳建元教授主講，講題為「仲裁機制與區塊鏈技術結合之應用優勢」。陳教授從租賃服務業的角度切入，指出當前不動產市場問題、為解決不動產糾紛爭議及透過小額訴訟與簡易仲裁的比較，指出各別優缺點，建議選擇用仲裁來解決是更適合的機制；若仲裁加上新的科技工具即區塊鏈的運用，將可更快速、專業、彈性與因地制宜的解決紛爭。

第二場議題為「區塊鏈與不動產交易仲裁」，邀請雪喬股份有限公司周頌鈞執行長主講，講題為「國家級區塊鏈發展現況與資料保存機制」，周執行長先從技術層面介紹區塊鏈的概念及運用方式，進一步比較公有鏈、私有鏈及聯盟鏈的優缺點以及目前已有的壽險業運用與資料保存、驗證狀況。

Exploring Blockchain in Real Estate Arbitration

On October 25, 2023, a groundbreaking seminar, "Application of Blockchain Technologies in Real Estate Dispute Resolution," was co-hosted by the Chinese Arbitration Association (CAA) and the Chinese Real Estate Arbitration Association (CREAA). This afternoon event marked a significant step in integrating modern technology into arbitration practices.

Yong-Ran Li, the Executive Director of CAA, inaugurated the seminar with insightful opening remarks. He underscored the expertise of the arbitral tribunal, comprising industry veterans, which ensures the reliability of their decisions, often surpassing that of traditional court rulings. Li's emphasis on the potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing arbitration mechanisms set the tone for the seminar.

The event unfolded in two distinct sessions:

 • "Blockchain and Real Estate Lease Arbitration": Prof. Chien-Yuan Chen from Feng Chia University's Department of Land Management led this session. Prof. Chen provided an in-depth look at how blockchain technologies could be seamlessly integrated into arbitration processes, particularly in real estate leasing disputes. He outlined the current challenges in the real estate market and proposed blockchain as a solution to enhance arbitration efficiency, professionalism, and flexibility.

 • "Blockchain and Real Estate Transaction Arbitration": The second session featured Eric Chou, CEO of Snowbridge Inc., who delved into the latest developments in blockchain technology. Chou presented a nuanced comparison of the various types of blockchains, such as public, private, and consortium, and their respective advantages and drawbacks. Using the life insurance industry as a case study, he demonstrated how blockchain can be employed to securely preserve and verify data.

This seminar marked a pivotal moment in the intersection of technology and legal processes, highlighting the transformative potential of blockchain in real estate dispute resolution.
