FAQs
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential and voluntary procedure where a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps parties settle their disputes. It serves as an alternative to conventional litigation, enabling individuals or groups to collaborate and come up with mutually acceptable solutions. Mediation is guided by principles such as voluntariness, mediator neutrality, confidentiality, and self-determination of the parties. This process empowers individuals to maintain control over the outcome and frequently results in more satisfactory and sustainable resolutions.
What are the advantages of mediation?
It’s Cost-effective: Mediation is less expensive than litigation, as it eliminates the need for court fees, lengthy legal procedures, and attorney representation.
It’s Time-saving: Mediation takes less time than going to court. It allows parties to schedule sessions at their convenience, leading to quicker resolution of disputes.
Control and empowerment: Mediation empowers the parties involved as they actively participate in the decision-making process. They have more control over the outcome compared to having a judge or jury impose a decision upon them.
Confidentiality: Mediation proceedings are private and confidential. This ensures that sensitive information and discussions remain protected, promoting a safe environment for open and honest communication. It also keeps personal matters out of the public record, protecting individuals' privacy and reputation.
Preserve relationships: Mediation focuses on finding mutually agreeable solutions, fostering understanding, and preserving relationships. It can be especially valuable in family, business, or community disputes where maintaining ongoing relationships is important.
Flexibility and creativity: Mediation allows for flexible and creative solutions that may not be available through litigation. Parties have the opportunity to explore various options and tailor agreements to their unique needs and interests.
Reduced stress and emotional toll: Mediation provides a less adversarial and confrontational environment compared to court proceedings. It can help reduce stress and emotional strain by promoting constructive dialogue and cooperation.
High success rate: Mediation has a high success rate in resolving disputes, as it focuses on finding win-win solutions. Parties are more likely to comply with agreements they helped create, leading to more sustainable outcomes.
Court avoidance: Mediation provides an alternative to the formal court system, allowing parties to avoid the uncertainty and potential negative consequences associated with litigation.
What disputes can be mediated?
