 | If you would like to arrange a mediation, please contact us and let us have some details of the parties to the dispute and the nature of it. We will then provide you with profiles of a number of our mediators who are particularly suited to mediate in that dispute. |
| When the parties have agreed upon a mediator, each party will be sent written confirmation of the appointment. We will then ask the mediator to contact you and make the necessary arrangements for the mediation, including the date, time and venue and the documentation, including case summaries, which he or she will require for it. We will also, where possible and with the approval of all parties and without cost to them, appoint an assistant mediator, to attend the mediation and help the lead mediator in the conduct of it. |
| A suitable venue for the mediation, with adequate refreshment available all day, will if required by the parties (and wherever possible), be arranged by the mediator, although payment for this will be the responsibility of the parties, in equal shares unless otherwise agreed. Alternatively, the parties themselves may wish to agree and provide a suitable venue with three rooms available all day. |
| After the mediator has been appointed, the conduct of the mediation will be in the mediator's hands. LDRS will contact the parties after the mediation to obtain their comments on the mediation process and the mediators. |
| The fees for the mediation are payable directly by the parties, in equal shares unless otherwise agreed, to the mediator. The fees must be paid prior to the mediation taking place. In most cases the fees chargeable will be based upon the value of the claim or counterclaim, whichever is the higher. The basic scale of fees is set out in the Schedule of Charges. The fees do not include the provision of a venue or any other incidental costs. |
