What is mediation?
Mediation refers to a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps disputing parties find a mutually acceptable solution to their conflict. It's a confidential and informal way to resolve disputes without going to court, often resulting in faster, cost-effective outcomes.
Why use mediation?
Mediation is beneficial because:
-
It allows you to focus on what is important to you
-
A resolution can be agreed quickly
-
More flexible than going to Court
-
Cost effective
-
Allows you to explore a range of options
-
Discussions are confidential
-
Parties can be represented by lawyers
What happens in the mediation process?
A mediator will help parties arrive at a negotiated outcome by assisting in communication between the parties to the dispute, all in a confidential setting. While no two mediations are the same in terms of how they are structured, the stages of the mediation process typically involve a number of private and joint meetings. At the end of the mediation, if agreement is reached, this is usually set out in a written form. Parties can be represented by lawyers at mediation and can agree that others such as relatives may be present.
