Mediation and Arbitration is an Alternative Dispute resolution (ADR) where a third neutral party aims to assist two or more disputants in reaching an amicable settlement. It is an easy and uncomplicated party-centered negotiation process where a third party acts as a mediator/arbitrator to resolve disputes amicably by using appropriate communication and negotiation techniques. This process is to come to some sort of settlement where both parties are in a win-win position.
Mediators’/Arbitrators’ work is just to facilitate the parties to reach a settlement of their dispute. Mediators/ Arbitrators do suggest and give their legal views for the parties to come to a fair settlement.
The parties to a suit or other proceedings may agree on the sole mediator or group of mediators for mediation between them. The parties may either appoint the mediators on their own or may appoint the mediator from the panel of mediators Therefore, autonomy to appoint the mediator is given to the parties.
