What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a structured, voluntary process where an impartial mediator facilitates communication between parties to help them reach a resolution. It is commonly used in family, workplace, and legal disputes.

A Basic Overview Of Mediation In South Africa

Mediation can be initiated on a voluntary or mandatory basis. 

  • How It Works

    Mediation can be voluntary or mandatory. In many legal contexts, mediation is encouraged to resolve disputes before taking legal action.

  • Mediation in Parenting & Family Law

    Under Section 33(1) of the Children's Act (Act 38 of 2005), parents can voluntarily create a parenting plan with the help of a mediator. Legal professionals may also refer parents to mediation.

  • Mandatory Mediation Before Legal Action

    Before escalating disputes to court, mandatory mediation is often required, especially in cases involving child custody and family law. This helps promote fair and collaborative resolutions.
