Recognized by SA courts
South African courts recognize and encourage mediation as a first step in resolving most disputes (Rule 41A). This ensures that parties explore amicable solutions before entering a lengthy litigation process.
Saving time and money
Resolving a dispute through mediation is faster and more cost effective than the traditional legal process.
Confidential
Unlike court proceedings, mediation offers more privacy to the parties.
Mediation may be initiated into either by way of a court referral or through self-referral. The manner in which mediation is initiated may affect the overall timeline of the process, particularly where court-directed deadlines or reporting requirements apply. With that said, The mediation process itself follows a structured and consistent framework.
Where mediation is court-referred, the process usually operates within prescribed timelines and may require specific outcomes or documentation to be reported back to the court. In contrast, self-referred mediation allows for greater flexibility, with the pace and scheduling of sessions determined primarily by the availability of the parties and the complexity of the dispute.
