About
Organisations / Associations signing the “Mediate First” Pledge agree to first explore the use of mediation to resolve disputes arising in the course of their dealings or operations, as the case may be, before pursuing other dispute resolution processes or court litigation, and agree to encourage its Members to adopt the same.
The Pledge
We recognise that for many different types of disputes, mediation can offer a less expensive and more effective method of resolution than court litigation. With this in mind, we subscribe to the following statement of principle on behalf of our Organisation / Association:
Should a dispute arise in the course of our dealings or operations, as the case may be, between other parties and our Organisation / Association, we are prepared to first explore the use of mediation to resolve the dispute, before pursuing other dispute resolution processes or court litigation.
Furthermore, our Organisation / Association agrees to promote mediation to our Members and encourage our Members to first explore the use of mediation to resolve the dispute between other parties and any of our Members, before pursuing other dispute resolution processes or court litigation.
We further agree that the name of our Organisation / Association may be placed on a public list of “Mediate First” Pledgees supporting the use of mediation to resolve disputes.
