Mediation

Mediation

Background

Our dispute prevention and resolution services provide the population and the business community with access to fair, effective and affordable alternatives to traditional litigation, and this, without the procedural rigidity and court related fees. In many cases, filing fees alone can discourage a financially burdened party from seeking justice or defending his case. 

This is why we have waived initial filing fees for all our dispute prevention streams. Furthermore, our cost-sharing calendar and preferential rates for non-profits and individuals experiencing hardship, are but a few of the ways in which we can take concrete measures to advocate for better access to justice.

Application

A variety of disputes can be resolved by way of mediation, including civil, commercial and employment related matters. The goal of mediation is to resolve a dispute in a mutually satisfactory and binding manner. Disputing parties can agree in advance to mediation, simply by including a mediation clause in their contract. Where a dispute has already arisen, the parties may still agree on mediation by signing an agreement to this effect.

Mediation offers many advantages, including the following:

  • A confidential forum for parties wishing to reach a mutually satisfactory and binding settlement;
  • A fair, effective and economical procedure in which to settle complex or delicate matters;
  • Allows parties to resolve their disputes without irreparably damaging their personal integrity or reputation;
  • Can safeguard important relationships and lead to better communication and cooperation between the parties in the future.
