Confidentiality
Unlike court or tribunal proceedings, mediation is entirely confidential; whatever is said in the mediation bubble stays in the mediation bubble.
Cost effective
Mediation is quicker and more cost effective than going to court or tribunal. Most mediations are completed in a day and can be arranged within a few weeks.
Objectivity
Rather than focusing on the sense of ‘being wronged’, mediation enables parties who are in conflict to step back and think about how they could resolve the dispute. This can include looking both at their own behaviour and that of other people.
Enduring Solutions
Mediation allows the parties to retain control over the outcome of their dispute and come up with their own practical solutions which will benefit all sides. Where a relationship is to continue, mediation allows the parties to find solutions which will endure the test of time and ensure that disputes do not reoccur.
Certainty
The vast majority of mediations are resolved quickly and effectively and therefore provide certainty of outcome and closure for the parties.
Re-building Relationships
Mediation allows people and businesses to rebuild relationships as they work together to find a solution. This is different to court and tribunal proceedings where hostility often remains once a case is over, often destroying any chance of a continuing business relationship.
