I might not agree with every point, but I certainly agree mediation is the way forward and useful to virtually all clients in any dispute, civil, commercial or family
As mediation becomes the foremost way to deal with all disputes there's an excellent programe of training coming up..ah to be in the EU again

Not all refusals to mediate will result in costs sanctions, particularly where you can prove you engaged or offered other forms of NCDR (erroneously referred to as ADR in the judgment)

Staying neutral is key in mediation, unlike in some sports tournament's cf The Roses. I do, of course, have some affection for York (former home) however I've been in the red red rose county for far too long so my support will be for Lancs this weekend.

It's hard to find mediation news that's not about Trumplethinskin's chaotic war in Iran but here's some from north of the border - I do a fair bit of farming mediation (as well as trudging across rights of way on farmland in Peaks)

I might not necessarily agree that there's an increased use over here of extreme starting positions (the Orange one's approach is poor despite what he claims) but addressing underlying wants/needs is why mediation works

We often have discussions with clients about differing approaches to how long their kids spend on social media, there are good reasons to talk about it and find an agreed approach. There are also good reasons to avoid the toxic stuff entirely

Had the pleasure of attending Andrew Small's webinar on Death, Debt and Disputes including discussion of Wedgwood v Hosein, for mediators the judge's comments regarding the confidentiality of mediation discussions are worth highlighting to all clients!
Ok so I can't say I've dealt with estates worth trillions, millions yes, but not trillions and so far not billions (but estate issues resolved in mediation with me have come close to that level on a couple of occasions)
