Traditional Mediation
Mediation is a voluntary dispute resolution process where a professional mediator will guide and assist you and the other party resolve your dispute.
There are many benefits to resolving matters through mediation. Mediation is quicker, less expensive and less formal than the court process and will allow you to have control over the outcome. For these reasons, the outcome will generally be better than a Court-imposed decision.
Arbitration
Parties to a financial dispute can agree to appoint a specialist lawyer/arbitrator to make a decision about their matter. The parties will present their evidence and case to the arbitrator. They may have lawyers representing them in the same way as in Court proceedings but without the additional expense of the Court process and delays. The decision will be binding and able to be registered in the Court.
