When is Mediation Appropriate?
Mediation is appropriate...
First - When the parties to the dispute desire to play an active role in determining the outcome of their dispute.
Secondly - When negotiations breakdown, the mediator can be the voice of reason to help the parties reach a win-win solution; and,
Thirdly - When legal fees have gone through the roof and the parties want to control costs and reduce the time involved in resolving their dispute.
What happens with mediation is the people involved in the disagreement have the option to decide, with the Mediator as facilitator, how the dispute will be resolved. Consequently, the Judge, who is a perfect stranger, does not dictate your life.
Mediation puts you in the position of POWER.
