We are pleased to announce the publication of the study results”The use of mediation in civil and commercial disputes“, carried out by the Working Group The key role of mediation.
This Working Group is part of the set of organized activities by Mediation Club Fide, made up of international mediators. The Club's main objective is to develop the continuous training for professionals interested in mediation, as well as promote the use of mediation in Spain and internationally, regularly organizing activities and analysis groups for this purpose.
In this line of analysis, this Working Group (GT) was raised as a challenge for this second stage, know the opinion of the different users of the mediation, to later analyze them and carry out the recommendations that, in the opinion of the WG, are considered necessary to promote the use of mediation in the resolution of civil and commercial disputes in the various countries that were the subject of study of the comparative analysis carried out by this WG.
For this purpose, a survey was made that it was addressed to the users of the mediation; i.e. in-house lawyers from various companies, law firms, mediators, jurists, company managers and academic professors. The questions focused on the use of mediation in their countries, the reasons why they decide to resort to mediation or not in a conflict and on the actions that, in their opinion, would be necessary to promote the use of mediation as a effective method of conflict resolution.
The answers obtained from the completed surveys have been evaluated by the WG:
