What is mediation and how does it work?
Mediation is a structured negotiation facilitated by an independent mediator. Both parties present their positions and work towards a mutually acceptable outcome. Mediation is voluntary, confidential, and non-binding unless a settlement is reached.
Is arbitration legally binding?
Yes. Unlike mediation, arbitration produces a binding decision (called an award) that is enforceable in the same way as a court judgment. Arbitration is often used where parties want a private, expert decision-maker.
When is ADR more appropriate than going to court?
ADR is often preferable when you want to preserve a business relationship, resolve a matter quickly, reduce costs, maintain confidentiality, or need a decision-maker with specific industry expertise.
Can the court order parties to mediate?
Yes. Victorian courts frequently order parties to attend mediation before trial. Even without a court order, many contracts include mandatory mediation clauses.
What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?
In mediation, a neutral facilitator helps parties reach a voluntary agreement. In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator hears evidence and makes a binding decision. Mediation is collaborative; arbitration is adjudicative.
