Details

This title examines the position of mediation within the civil justice system in England and Wales, providing an essential read for mediators, mediation providers, lawyers, judges, academics and students. The book traces the evolution of the relationship between the courts and mediation, discussing all the significant judgments relating to mediation over the last 30 years as well as exploring the key concepts at the heart of mediation and all the latest developments.

The Third Edition has been updated to include:

Discussion of the Court of Appeal judgment in Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council overturning the decision in Halsey in relation to court-ordered mediation
New content covering the proposed amendments to the CPR consequent on Churchill; mediator ethics; and the development of judicial attitudes to settlement
An update on proposed reforms to the Pre-Action Protocols over requiring use of mediation
Recent case law including: Lomax v Lomax; McParland v Whitehead; Mills & Reeve v Martin; Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil; Wales v CBRE and Aviva; DS v Blackpool FC; Moon v Deane; and Ohpen v Invesco
