Benefits of Mediation
Mediation is an informal and flexible process. It is not governed by Court Rules or Law of Evidence or witnesses and it does not take place in a Court. It can be held anywhere and anytime, including online methods.
All discussions held during the mediation are confidential and the Mediator are not allowed to disclose any information revealed during the process.
Mediation is a definite option to consider when parties want a quick resolution. It generally takes less time to complete, enabling faster solutions than other alternative dispute resolutions through cooperative and mutually agreeable decision-making.
Mediation is not bound by time rules since it can take place at any time and any place. Given its informal nature, there is no dependency upon availability of a Court or a Judge. All that is required is a time and date convenient to the Mediator and the Parties.
In Mediations, parties negotiate their own settlements and have an equal say in the process. As such, Mediations enable parties to control the outcome of their dispute. Instead of determining faults, parties, instead reach mutually agreeable resolution to their conflict.
The Mediator does not judge the parties or the issues in dispute. Instead, his/her role is that of facilitating discussions to assist the parties resolving their dispute with the objective to reach mutually agreeable settlement.
Parties are generally more satisfied with solutions, as they are party in creating the solution, as opposed to solutions that are imposed by third-parties in other alternative dispute resolutions.
