Advantages of Mediation
These are 6 principal advantages of mediation:
1
Cost
Mediation is usually considerably more cost effective than going to court.
2
Confidentiality
Mediations are conducted in private – unlike court hearings.
3
Speed
Mediation can be arranged swiftly and matters resolved efficiently – usually within a day.
4
Flexibility
The parties are free to find their own solution – often a solution which could not be ordered by a court or even an arbitrator.
5
Agreement
Parties are more likely to adhere to an agreement they have reached themselves, saving difficulties with enforcement.
6
Control
Mediation is an entirely voluntary process. Nothing will happen without your agreement and you are in control of the outcome.
