Mediation

Mediation is one of the key processes in the "alternative dispute resolution" framework helping people work through issues of difference in a confidential and "safe" environment. The advantages of mediation are many, however, the most important and appealing are:

  • Mediation does not involve a judge, jury, referee, adjudicator and does not generally involve lawyers.
  • Mediation is considerably cheaper than Court or Tribunal proceedings. It is well known that litigation can be extraordinarily expensive thereby limiting its use to those with unlimited financial resources.
  • Because proceedings are confidential, the mediation process can be tailored to suit the particular needs of the dispute and the parties.
  • The final result is not imposed but arrived at, agreed by and signed off exclusively by the parties. The mediator facilitates the process, not hand down a decision that no one ultimately really wants to accept or follow.

Who would use our services?

The use of a mediation service is open to anyone who considers that they have a genuine dispute with another party and wish to have it resolved as effectively and efficiently as possible. The only prerequisite for entering into mediation, is to have the agreement of the other party to work through the process and ideally, finally signing off on a mutually agreed decision.
