Mediation - The power to settle
Following the Government’s proposals for mandatory mediation for claims under £10,000, all those involved in legal disputes will be reminded of the power that mediation has to settle disputes. The likelihood is that an element of compulsion in one form or another will be extended to all civil disputes. Lowering the costs, stress and litigation risk for the client, mediation gives the power to settle disputes in the hands of the parties.
