Understanding Arbitration & Mediation
Arbitration Meaning:
Arbitration is a formal process where a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, hears evidence and arguments from both sides of a dispute. The arbitrator then makes a binding decision that is legally enforceable.
Mediation Meaning:
Mediation is a less formal process where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, facilitates communication and negotiation between the parties involved in a dispute. The mediator does not make a decision; instead, they help the parties reach a mutually agreeable solution
MMW
Key Differences from Traditional Litigation
Confidentiality: Arbitration and mediation proceedings are generally private, while court proceedings are public.
Flexibility: Arbitration and mediation offer greater flexibility in procedure and scheduling compared to the rigid timelines of court proceedings.
Control: Parties have more control over the arbitration and mediation process, such as the selection of the arbitrator or mediator and the scheduling of hearings.
Cost-Effectiveness: Arbitration and mediation are often more cost-effective than litigation due to reduced legal fees and court costs.
Speed: Arbitration and mediation can often resolve disputes faster than traditional litigation.
