The Mediator:
The Mediator is the facilitator towards reaching a settlement. The Mediator will encourage both parties to communicate directly to enable them to clarify their positions and try to gain an understanding of the other parties' view or position.
A mediator does not resolve the complaint or impose a decision on the parties. The Mediator attempts to get the parties to agree on a mutually acceptable solution.
Mediation is confidential and will not be revealed to anyone not connected to the case.
Preparation for Mediation:
1. Ensure the facts are clear.
2. Make representations brief. There is only an hour for the session.

4. Should an agreement be reached, please fulfill your obligations as soon as possible.
