Can I refuse to mediate?
One of the reasons why mediation is so effective is because it is completely voluntary. There are no consequences for clients who decline mediation at the start, or choose to withdraw part way through.

What is mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary way of resolving a dispute out of court at any time, with or without lawyers, and with the help of a neutral, trained mediator, who helps parties reach an agreement. The process is completely confidential.
Can I be represented at #mediation?
The choice is yours. It is essential that the parties either attend themselves, or ensure that their representative has authority to settle or to agree terms of settlement on their behalf.

#mediationFAQs:
What types of issues can be mediated?
Any issue can be mediated where there is a desire to reach an agreement and/or avoid litigation. WMS offers workplace, commercial, intergenerational and community mediation.
#mediationFAQs:
Is mediation agreement legally binding?
No. Any agreement discussed relies on the good faith of both parties to enforce it. You can make it legally binding by getting a solicitor to draft a consent order for a court to approve after mediation.
#mediationFAQs:
What if we don’t reach an agreement during mediation?
In our experience, the majority of cases settle through mediation. If not, you can still negotiate directly or via your solicitors. If there is an ongoing court case, it can be re-activated.
#mediationFAQs:
Can I bring a lawyer to mediation?
Lawyers can be present but it’s not required. It is up to you how involved they will be. Some parties have their solicitors on standby over the phone, to reduce attendance costs.
#mediationFAQs:
Can I be forced to mediate?
No. Mediation is a voluntary process. You cannot be forced to mediate, or to agree on your issues. You can always refuse or withdraw from the process at any moment.
#mediationFAQs:
Can mediators give legal advice?
Whether or not a mediator is also a lawyer, they cannot offer legal advice or represent either party involved in a dispute, as they have to remain impartial. You need to make your own arrangements if you require legal advice.
#mediationFAQs:
What is the success rate of mediation?
Very high. In our experience (and according to a 2018 survey by CEDR), civil & commercial mediation has a success rate of 89%, with 74% achieving settlement on the day and 15% shortly after mediation.
#mediationFAQs:
Do mediators decide the outcome?
No. Mediators have no power to decide the mediation case outcome, or impose their solutions on you. They assist you in negotiating your own resolution, ensuring that any agreement made is the one all parties are happy with.
#mediationFAQs: How much does mediation cost?
Community & intergenerational mediation at WMS is free to all Wandsworth residents. As for civil & commercial disputes, we charge fees in line with a national tariff depending on the total value of the case: https://t.co/HdZZAUQOwd
#mediationFAQs: Is mediation confidential?
Yes. Mediation is confidential and takes place on a ‘without prejudice’ basis. Nothing said or done during mediation can be repeated in court or disclosed to anyone outside the mediation group, without the consent of all parties.
#mediationFAQs: How long does mediation take?
A mediation session usually lasts between 2 hours and 1 day, depending on the complexity of the case. Some issues need more than a single meeting to be sorted. The mediator will give a clearer timescale at your initial appointment.
#mediation FAQs:
Can I litigate and mediate at the same time?
Yes. You can usually ask the court to put the case on hold to give you an opportunity to mediate and resolve the issue. If there is no resolution, the case can be re-activated. #mediationfaqs
