Mediation Zone

Mediation Zone is an On Line Dispute Resolution (ODR) forum, where parties engaged in a dispute can jointly instruct a mediator to help the parties reach an amicable settlement.

The only difference in ODR is that the parties won't ever meet.  Communication will be over the internet or via telephone.

Conducting mediations wholly online provides the opportunity to extend the benefits of mediation to many disputes that otherwise would not be able to benefit, including:-

• Disputes between parties who are too geographically distant.
• Disputes where the value of the subject matter of the dispute is not sufficiently high enough to justify the cost of a meeting based mediation.
• Disputes where there are sensitivities between the parties that could be intensified by a meeting.
• Disputes where one party cannot attend a meeting due to severe disability.
