Sometimes there is a misconception that if agreement is not reached in mediation it is a failed attempt. Other times failure is perceived when clients choose to walk away after just one session. In our latest blog, our mediator discusses the thought of a failed mediation.

From my many years as a student, practitioner and trainer of mediation, I look at the outcome of mediation, which could produce various configurations as a result of the utilisation of the mediation process, as a measure of whether the clients deemed the process appropriate.

Today from our archives - “Benefits of Mediation"

Mediation is recognised within the civil procedure in the South African legal system. Understandably so, the current court system, as in many worldwide systems is overflooded with matters waiting for an outcome. Mediation has been introduced to provide a quicker relief to reaching resolution by giving the parties (if need be their legal representatives) an opportunity to meet in a mediated process and negotiate an agreement that benefits them all. Mediation does not replace the court system, instead parties can use mediation to reduce time spent waiting for answers and costs involved when communicating with each other.

In the recent weeks, since Rule 41A (making mediation a consideration before litigation) became operational we have been asked what does a mediator do.
While not making a decision for the participants in mediation, the mediator facilitates discussions and negotiations so that participants see the truth in their own decisions.
Reality-testing is key to all mediations.
