<h1>Pre-litigation mediation for civil, commercial and motor accident compensation disputes: section 12A applies; mediator panels required, referrals mandated</h1> Parties may, before instituting any civil or commercial suit or proceeding, voluntarily and by mutual consent pursue pre-litigation mediation under the Act, whether or not a mediation agreement exists; however, pre-litigation mediation for commercial disputes of specified value is to be undertaken under section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 and related rules. This framework also applies to tribunals as notified. Unless the parties agree otherwise, pre-litigation mediation must be conducted by a mediator registered with the Council or empanelled with a court-annexed mediation centre, a Legal Services Authority, or a recognised mediation service provider, and such bodies must maintain panels of mediators. In motor accident compensation claims, if settlement under section 149 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is not reached, the Claims Tribunal must refer the parties to mediation, placing any settlement before it or proceeding on a non-settlement report for adjudication.
