– There is less stress

The main benefit of mediation is that it is generally way less stressful than going to court. Legal action can result in  increased levels of stress and large ongoing costs. If you become involved in a court case it will be long , drawn out, invasive and expensive. You may have to answer all sorts of questions from judges and lawyers and still may find that the decisions made are out of your control.

All this pressure and uncertainty contributes to making people more stressed. Things are different with ourselves as all of the aforementioned inconveniences are very limited when they are not present at all.

– Parties have more influence on the outcome

When opting for the service, the parties have more influence on the outcome because they are the ones who make all the decision.

This is so because in court, the judge has the final word and everybody has to abide by the latter’s decision. Barclay Devere is here to help the parties reach an agreement that will suit every single one of them. In fact, each party comes up with propositions about the decisions to be made, and all of these are taken into consideration. Thus, the outcome is based on all the propositions, unlike in court where the judge chooses between one of the two parties.

– It is less costly

Going to court can be very expensive. A miam starts from just £99.00 .

Why mediation cheaper than court and solicitors

Sorting agreements out in court can be quite costly, especially when the case spreads over a long period. Opting for mediation is relatively cheap when compared to court fees, and this is due to many reasons. Firstly with Barclay Devere you do not have any court costs. Therefore, those are not included in his fee. Also, the system does not take as long as court cases. Another reason is that court cases require barristers whereas the parties usually speak for themselves.

It is also adequate for sorting out financial matters like the house or property. Court cases are expensive and resorting to them only results in even more financial losses. For such matters, it is hence more appropriate to turn to a mediator and sort things out quickly.

MIAM – why you have to mediate before going to court

MIAM stands for a Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting, and it simply is the first meeting that the parties will have with the mediator. The objective of MIAMS is to inform the involved parties about the way mediation work. After that, we will tell them if it is the right course of action for them, in addition to the cost and the number of sessions that will be required. In other words, MIAM is like an assessment meeting, where we inform the parties everything they need to know before the joint meetings start.

Face to face or shuttle mediation?

There are two ways in which the mediation procedures can be carried out. The first one is called face to face mediation, and this is when the hearing is done with both parties sitting in a single room. This is considered the best option, as the process is faster because the involved persons can respond instantly regarding whether or not the proposed arrangements are good for them.

The other option is called shuttle mediation.

In this one, the parties are placed in separate individual rooms and we go back and forth from one room to the other. This is more appropriate in situations where it would be preferable for family members not to see each other, for example, because of violent precedents.
