Disputes may be referred to the Centre for mediation: voluntarily, following a decision made by the disputing parties. The parties in dispute are required to submit their request for mediation by filling the Application eForm through the Centre’s website www.mediation.mt by clicking on the menu ‘EFORMS and FAQS’ or by accessing the government’s website by clicking here and submit online. Upon payment of the fee as per Tariff of Fees S.L. 474.01, the Centre provides the parties with a list of accredited mediators to select one of them to conduct the mediation proceedings; or following a decree or order by the Court or other adjudicatory authority at the request of the parties to the proceedings after litigious proceedings would have already commenced. Where the court considers it appropriate that the dispute may be resolved through the assistance of a mediator, it may, on its own initiative refer the dispute to mediation; or by law, that is by any authority not being an adjudicatory authority or through the execution of a clause in a contract requiring the parties to submit to mediation any dispute arising under or out of the terms of the contract.
