Mediation: Is It Still a Poor Alternative to Judicial or Arbitral Proceedings?
|
07/08/2008
V&E International Dispute Resolution E-communication, July 8, 2008

In more recent years, however, a number of the myths surrounding mediation have been dispelled (at least in the UK) thanks to (i) the introduction of court procedures requiring parties to discuss the mediation option in any event and (ii) the high success rate of mediation (recent statistics suggest that 65 to 85 percent of cases referred to mediation settle at the mediation session).
