In some cases, mediation is a better way of resolving disputes than other alternatives.
Mediation helps people to solve their differences in a fair and friendly manner.
The people themselves maintain control over their own dispute. Also, since parties decide their own outcome, they are usually more committed to the outcome than if a decision is imposed on them. This means that decisions reached in mediation are often more workable and practical than a decision imposed by outsiders. The Community Justice Centres offer free, prompt and accessible services. Procedures are simple, straightforward and user friendly.
