Mediation
Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party is engaged to assist parties in dispute reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
Mediation is increasingly used to facilitate discussion and communication between parties to a dispute, and is often utilised as a cost-effective alternative to litigation. Sometimes, the Court will even direct parties in litigation to try mediation.
Generally, mediation is an informal process that allows the parties to have a confidential exchange of views about their dispute and the ways in which it might be able to be settled.
Parties can choose to have legal representation at a mediation. The role of a lawyer is to advise and assist their clients in the course of mediation and to discuss with the Mediator, and with each other, such legal evidentiary or practical matters as the Mediator may suggest or their clients might wish.
If agreement is reached, terms of settlement are signed by the parties at the end of the mediation. Each party should ensure that they are in total agreement with the terms of settlement, as it is a legally binding document once signed.
If you require assistance with a dispute, or if mediation is of interest to you, RobertsLaw can help.
