Mediation is a busted flush
Series: Building ; 269(8324) 19 March 2004, 64(1)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Takes issue with commentators who insist that mediation is the best way to solve a dispute. Argues that parties are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the mediation process and it has now become a different procedure to what people were familiar to in the past. The role of the mediator has changed with many becoming involved months before the mediation and at great expense. Before mediation became popular many cases were settled prior to arbitration or trial as parties would often have without-prejudice meetings and would negotiate face to face. Notes that there are still judges, particularly in the TCC, who believe that there are other methods more appropriate to resolving cases.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
