Mediation are often used once proceedings have commenced. Mediation is meant not only to resolve disputes but also to preserve and re-establish relationships. To achieve success, there must be a mutual commitment by all parties to form the method work. Unlike a judge, arbitrator, or adjudicator, the Mediator will not impose a choice on the parties but instead will help the parties achieve a mutually agreed settlement. Mediation may be a sort of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Whilst adjudication and arbitration are oftenk referred to as sorts of ADR almost like mediation, there are some fundamental differences within the mediation process. Whilst around 86% of cases settle through mediation, if settlement isn’t achieved the Mediator may sometimes be asked by the parties to offer a non-binding Recommendation for settlement. Mediation may be a private process.
