Mediation
What Are The Benefits of Mediation?
Control
The most significant benefit of Mediation is that the disputing parties make their own decision, and the processes are less stressful than a Court’s proceedings. The parties can explore the misunderstanding, suspicions and other side’s point of view and interest. The parties have opportunities to express their concerns and reasoning.
Confidentiality
The whole process of mediation is private and confidential, and no one can rely on it without the expressed consent of the other party.
Speed
The mediation process is quicker compared to the court’s proceedings.
Lower Costs
Mediation is very cost-effective, and it’s a tiny fraction of the court costs.
Enforceability
The decision made by the parties can be enforced through the court in case of breach by any party.
Without Prejudice privilege
In mediation, negotiation for settlement are usually conducted “Without prejudice”, which means that relying on the information revealed in mediation is very restrictive. The contents will remain confidential until the privilege has been lifted or the Settlement has been reached.
There are numerous benefits of mediation

Mediation is not the only way of alternative dispute resolution; which form is the best option for you depends on various factors. Therefore, it is always good to have professional advice before choosing any option because, in some cases, mediation would not be the best option; it depends on the individual circumstances.
