Mediation practice in the first half of 2015

In January-June 2015 mediators of the Center, that are included in list of recommended mediators, held 51 mediations among which 31 – mediations in court, 20 – extrajudicial mediations.

Mediations were carried out on the following categories of disputes:

• 17 commercial mediations (rent relations, corporate between shareholders, mutual settlement between individual entrepreneurs, relations between customers, contractors and supervision at construction of the facility, and others).
• 14 mediations in family disputes (the division of property between the spouses, the determination of the residence and/or order of education of children);
• 13 mediations in labor disputes (wages, reinstatement, changing employment records);
• 2 mediations in consumer protection;
• 2 mediations in disputes between relatives on an apportionment of a share and removal of obstacles in use of premises;
• 3 mediations were about inheritance, collection of debt and neighbourship.

76% mediations have been concluded with signing of the mediation agreement. The highest level of success are commercial mediations – 94%. Then family mediations – 77% and labor – 62%. Average term for conflict resolution – 3-4 hours. And it should be noted that all commercial mediations were extrajudicial.

Analyzing results of the work it is important to consider such rate like feasibility of mediation agreement. 63% of signed mediation agreements have already executed today, others are in process of execution.

We are thankful to our mediators for productive work and devotion and hope that the second half of the year will be also such successful and effective!
