(This Question is from 3rd Topic of the Outline) 1. INTRODUCTION: In Alternative Dispute Resolution one of the major techniques for resolving disputes is mediation. Mediation is a process where a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps two or more people in a conflict find a mutually acceptable solution. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator does not make decisions for the parties. Instead, they facilitate communication and negotiation, ensuring that everyone has a chance to express their views and
interests. This process is often quicker, less formal, and less expensive than going to court. 2. MEANING OF MEDIATION: According to Oxford Dictionary of law: “A form of Alternative dispute resolution in which an independent third party (mediator) assist the parties involved in the dispute or negotiation to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution of the points of conflicts.” 3. DEFINITION OF MEDIATION: • Mediation is defined by the American Bar Association as "a private process where a neutral third person called a mediator helps the parties discuss and try to resolve the dispute. The mediator does not have the power to make a decision for the parties, but rather assists them in reaching a mutually acceptable resolution". 4. CONCEPT OF MEDIATION: Mediation is a way to resolve disputes where a neutral third person, called a mediator, helps the parties involved communicate and find a solution that both sides agree on. The mediator doesn’t make decisions but helps guide the conversation. ✓ Example: Consider a family dispute where siblings are arguing over how to divide their late parent's estate. Wajeeh Ahsan Alvi wants to sell the family home, Badeeh Ahsan Awan wants to keep it for sentimental reasons. They decide to try mediation instead of going to court. The mediator helps them explore their emotions and practical needs. After discussions, they agree that Badeeh will buy out Wajeeh’s share of the house at a fair market price. This way, Badeeh Ahsan can keep the house, and Wajeeh Ahsan receives her share of the inheritance. The mediation helps them avoid a lengthy legal battle and preserves their relationship.
5. APPLICATION AND SCOPE OF MEDIATION: The application and scope of mediation is very vast and we can discuss the application and scope of mediation with the help of following headings. • Family Disputes: Family disputes, such as divorce, child custody, and inheritance issues, can be resolved through mediation. A neutral mediator helps family members communicate and work towards a solution that meets everyone's needs.
