Mediation in Practice

“Whatever we decide will be agreed between the two of us,

it will stay between us without anybody imposing the decision on us”

If a procedure in court in not your first choice and you would like more flexible solutions in a welcoming environment outside the courtroom, the mediation process might be for you.

Mediation:

• Is being widely promoted as an out-of-court dispute resolution procedure.

• Does not rule out court proceedings if a settlement is not reached.

• Gives your case priority. Your case will no longer be just another case on a long list of court cases with limited time for discussion.

• Takes place in a private setting, outside a courthouse, away from prying eyes and without anybody openly hearing about your case.

• Is carried out by agreement between the two parties with their own presence and the presence of their lawyers and the certified mediator.

• Gives your case plenty of time to be discussed since during mediation only your case will be discussed, without stress and the pressure of time.

• Mediation is carried out on the basis of confidentiality and immediacy. Everything that is said between you and the other party is not known to third parties.

• It focuses on trying to find a realistic and commonly accepted solution.

• The agreement of the dispute resolution is, under specific requirements, enforceable and equal to a judgement.
