​

A Judge or a Tribunal chairman imposes a decision which may not be satisfactory to either of the parties.

​

The idea behind mediation is that both sides are assisted in coming to their own solution. Mediation can run alongside legal action. If mediation does not successfully resolve a dispute then matters discussed during the course of a mediation cannot usually be used in court proceedings.

​

The purpose of a mediator is to assist the parties in helping them to come to such a resolution.

Mediation can be used in virtually any kind of dispute including Employment Matters, Family Disputes, Commercial Contracts and Partnership Disputes.

Sundeep Bhatia of Beaumonde Law Practice is a qualified mediator trained by the Centre of Effective Dispute Resolution which is one of the world leaders in Dispute resolution.

​

Parties to a dispute, together with their legal representatives, can use mediation if they want to solve their dispute and save a large amount of money and time that would otherwise be wasted on legal fees and continuing anger, worry, and emotional distress.

​

From 1st May 2014 any claim presented at an Employment Tribunal will need to go through a process of Conciliation before it will be allowed to proceed.

​

It therefore makes sense to try and settle a matter, by means of Mediation, before a claim is presented to the Tribunal.
