What is Mediation?

Mediation is a modern and widely used dispute resolution process where those involved are encouraged and empowered to work out their own solution with the assistance of a skilled, trained, and accredited neutral third person – the mediator. It is private, confidential, and informal allowing settlements to be agreed which neither a court nor an arbitrator might have the power or authority to impose. It is normally a voluntary process, entered into under a set of basic rules, usually at much less than 10% of the cost of continuing in litigation or arbitration. Mediation does not require anything like the preparation needed for trial or an arbitration, and it can be arranged at a few days notice at any convenient location. Worldwide it is proven to enable a solution to be reached on the day in 85% of cases. The outcome may be formalised by a court order made by consent or by a written contract. The mediator does not impose or recommend a particular solution, nor provide legal advice: instead the process uses careful listening, questioning, and analysis to enable a facilitated agreement to be reached. In some variants, mediators may offer an evaluation of the options raised but the most widely used form of mediation requires the mediator to be careful not to express any opinion: rather to tease out the underlying mutual interests and allow a solution to be found.
