Mediation is a non-binding form of dispute resolution. The parties select an independent mediator who seeks common ground between the parties. The mediator cannot impose a resolution on the parties. Arbitration is generally binding. The parties present their respective cases to an arbitrator, who acts as a neutral, trained third party.
Arbitration is like a private court, with the arbitrator deciding the outcome of the dispute.
