What Happens If Mediation Fails?
Mediation is a successful mechanism for parties to resolve disputes quickly, cost-effectively, and confidentially all whilst preserving relationships, however, communications in mediation can falter, leaving parties with the need to look at other options.
What are the options after mediation?
The options when mediation has failed are few and far between. Most parties will either drop their case or commence proceedings in the court system.
