Civil & Commercial Process:

  • The mediation starts with an opening session attended by all parties (unless there are any objections) where each party is able to present their side of the issues face to face in an informal environment.

  • This is followed by private/individual sessions with the mediator assisting in narrowing the issues, exploring possible solutions and clarifying points.

  • It should be noted that any information or offers disclosed in private sessions are confidential and will not be revealed to the other party without your prior consent.

  • Once progress has been made, the parties may be brought together at appropriate times to further explore solutions.

  • Most mediations settle and the terms of any agreement are drafted in a legally binding settlement and signed by all parties.

  • In the unlikely event of non-settlement, it is usually found that these cases settle shortly afterwards as a result of the momentum achieved during the initial mediation, with the parties having had time for reflection.
