"Commercial courts provide businesses that have certain kinds of disputes with a fast track to resolution," the judge said in a news release. "The court is designed to be more efficient through greater court management/oversight while being presided over by judges with additional training and education in business litigation.
"Local businesses can be assured that if they are seeking a quicker resolution and want their case handled by a local judge, that option is now available in Vigo County," Reddy said. "There is some evidence to suggest that strong commercial courts can lead to more investment and economic growth due to the perceived reduction in litigation delays and risk."
