Mediation
« Back to Glossary Index
Mediation is an informal method of resolving disputes in which an independent mediator works with
the parties to help them resolve their dispute. The decision they reach is documented formally and
then becomes binding upon them. Mediation is encouraged by the courts and has a very high
success rate. It is particularly suitable to landlord and tenant, boundary, and other disputes where
the parties have an ongoing relationship to preserve.
