Why mediation?
Depending on the circumstances, turning to mediation to resolve a dispute can serve the interests of the parties. The main purpose of this mechanism is to protect the interests of the parties, and its advantages can be listed as follows.
It produces a mutually accepted solution focused on interests and needs.
It saves time.
It saves costs.
The parties control the process.
The mediation process is confidential.
It reduces the caseload of the courts.
What does mediation as a precondition to filing suit mean?
As its definitions make clear, mediation is a voluntary mechanism based on reaching a mutually agreed solution. However, in certain matters it can be made a precondition to filing suit. This does not mean that the right to go to court is lost entirely. It simply requires the parties, for certain types of disputes, to try mediation before they can take their dispute to court.
