Mediation
Mediation is an amicable method of dispute resolution that allows for the prevention or resolution of disputes between parties through the intervention of a trained, neutral, impartial and independent mediator.
What is the role of the mediator?
The mediator is neither a judge nor an arbitrator, but rather a "catalyst" whose role is to facilitate negotiations between the parties, helping them to find their own solution to their dispute. Therefore, the mediator's role is not to decide the outcome of a dispute.
When should mediation be used?
Mediation can be implemented before or even during legal proceedings.
How to resort to mediation?
Recourse to mediation may be decided at the initiative of the parties, pursuant to a mediation clause in a contract or when a dispute arises.
The mediator may also be appointed by the judge in charge of the case as part of a legal procedure.
What are the guarantees and advantages of mediation?
Confidentiality
Everything mentioned and exchanged during the mediation is strictly confidential;
Consent
This is a voluntary, totally flexible process, which each party is free to leave at any time;
Respect for each other's opinions
This allows each party to express their point of view in a safe environment, without it being able to backfire on them;
Control of the solution by the parties
Mediation allows the parties, with the help of the mediator, to build a solution together and remain in control of the outcome of the process.
