Chief Justice Cyriac Joseph says that “mediation” is an effective dispute settlement mechanism that saves money and time
Honorable Chief Justice of the High Court of Karnataka Shri. Cyriac Joseph has said that in the very first year of the launch of a new system of “mediation” with the assistance of trained lawyers, more than 50 per cent of the cases have been resolved successfully, thus saving a lot of money and time for the parties involved. In a country where cases take decades to settle, this initiative of the High Court promises to be an alternative route that the public can take advantage of provided the parties are willing to agree to mediation. Increased use of mediation will also reduce the overload on our courts. Compared to other parts of the country where similar efforts have been launched, the Bangalore Mediation Centre stands out as the best with the largest number of cases and the highest rate of settlement through mediation.
The availability of organised and well-regulated mediation empowers lawyers to provide better service to litigants. There is a good success rate for cases which have been handled by the mediation procedure.
