Mediation is an alternative to the right to access the Courts of Justice, offering individuals involved in the conflict the opportunity to play an active role in how it is resolved, rather than leaving the decision in the hands of a judge or another third party who may make it.
Attempting mediation does not imply renouncing the right to go to court. If mediation is not successful, the person can still access the courts if they wish. Practice shows that in many cases, mediation avoids judicializing a conflict, ends the ongoing judicial process, or reduces its scope.
Mediation is a “time-bound” process (most mediations of this type are resolved between two and four sessions) to which the parties can turn to reach an agreement with the facilitation of a neutral person, the mediator, who is skilled in communication techniques, problem-solving, and negotiation.
