Ministry Of Justice
This consultation sets out the Governments proposal to automatically refer people involved in a civil dispute valued up to 10,000 for a free mediation session provided by Her Majestys Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) as part of the court process. It also seeks stakeholders views on how the Government can support and strengthen the external civil mediation sector.
The Government welcomes responses from court users, the mediation profession, the legal profession, the judiciary, the advice sector, and all those with an interest in the resolution of civil disputes.
