Pre-litigation mediation allows parties to voluntarily settle civil and commercial disputes using registered or empanelled mediators. Parties may voluntarily pursue pre litigation mediation by mutual consent before filing civil or commercial suits; commercial disputes of Specified Value follow the Commercial Courts Act pathway. The process applies to notified tribunals. Unless agreed otherwise, mediators must be registered with the Council or empanelled by a court annexed centre, a Legal Services Authority, or a recognised mediation service provider. High Courts and Legal Services Authorities may designate mediators and must maintain panels. For motor vehicle compensation claims where statutory settlement fails, the Claims Tribunal refers parties for mediation; settlements are presented to the Tribunal and non settlement reports are forwarded for adjudication.
