Mediation is a form of private and confidential facilitated
discussion between you and the other party to a dispute. Mediation is a process
designed to assist you to resolve a legal issue or dispute. Mediation provides
a process by which you can have input and control over an outcome without the
Court deciding for you.
This discussion is facilitated by a trained and impartial Mediator who adopts a
specific process to ensure you are safe and confident throughout the process
and that you have the opportunity to take breaks and to speak confidentially.
Mediation can provide you with an empowering and cost-effective alternative to

matter can successfully resolve most disputes. Very few go through to a final

solicitor to have the agreement drafted into Orders by Consent.
These
orders are then enforceable by the Court.
