Resolve your disputes through Mediation

1

WHAT IS MEDIATION?

Mediation is an out of court and non-adversarial approach to resolving disputes between parties. The mediator is a neutral, third-party and assists parties to reach an agreement by facilitating discussions around the issues, barriers and other interests that are relevant in order to agree on an outcome and plan moving into the future.

Mediation services may be engaged prior to attending a tribunal to seek a resolution, and most tribunals require that this has been undertaken prior to commencing further proceedings.

If an agreement is not achieved during mediation, the process is "without prejudice". Meaning that the agreements proposed during mediation will not influence subsequent court / tribunal proceedings.

BENEFITS OF MEDIATION

Maintain Control: Mediation allows input from both parties as to their perspective and desired outcome of a dispute. This is unlike when a matter proceeds to a court or tribunal where the decision is final. 

Decreased Costs: Litigation is costly, mediation is a more efficient method of dispute resolution and aims to resolve the issues, by avoiding costs associated with litigation. 

Save Time: Mediation itself usually only takes one day after mediation conference date is set, with the whole process from initial consultations, only taking 1-3 weeks, unlike court proceedings / litigation which can take several months to years. 

Reduce Stress: The non-adversarial and less formal nature of mediation allows parties to reach an agreement and engage in collaborative discussions, reducing the emotional toll often experienced by parties to a matter in court proceedings.

MEDIATION FOR  CONSUMER DISPUTES

Disputes relating to consumer rights often arise and are able to be resolved through mediation. Where dealing with the business / oganisation directly does not resolve the dispute, engaging in mediation may be the most appropriate step. Mediation can be undertaken for a range of consumer disputes which may relate to: 

- consumer guarantees and warranties
- refunds and repairs
- unfair consumer contracts and 
- false or misleading representations

In the most instances, the dispute will be resolved mediation where prior engagements with the other part has not been successful. This is most prudent to occur before a dispute progresses to the relevant state or terriroty tribunal, as most tribunals require that the matter is attempted to be resolved prior.
