Mediation Licensing Course

INTRODUCTION

Mediation is a flexible process conducted confidentially in which a neutral person actively assists parties in working towards a negotiated agreement of a dispute or difference, with the parties in ultimate control of the decision to settle and the terms of resolution. Courts actively encourage parties to consider mediation and parties can mediate at any stage before or during proceedings.

Mediation is confidential and ‘without prejudice’ (nothing said in the mediation is admissible as evidence in legal proceedings). Any settlement reached is legally binding once put into writing and signed by the parties.
