. When a dispute occurs and the parties involved are unable to resolve it themselves, the common response is to seek legal advice. This may mean taking the matter to court or some other adversarial forum, where a solicitor or barrister, or both, will represent the parties. After the evidence is heard the arbiter imposes a decision. The whole process can be very expensive, drawn out and stressful.



Alternative dispute resolution processes are, however, available and are often more appropriate. Tim Chadwick, mediator, facilitator and lawyer, uses recognised techniques that can replace litigation and arbitration. The benefits in terms of cost, time and stress avoided can be great. Tim Chadwick provides services in mediation and facilitation — two of the main alternative dispute resolution methods — and also conducts training programs in dispute management skills and techniques.

▲         WHY USE MEDIATION ?

 

It is fair to say that Application of the interest based facilitative process of Mediation (which of course includes Facilitation) to your Corporate/Commercial organisation business disputes, dislocations and distractions, is the appropriate course for you to pursue. Why? Because history records it so – e.g:

 

♣“Let him/her who would move the world first move him/herself” - (Socrates) -

So take the initiative; ‘first move yourself’ by using the Mediation process for all your disputes, and you will move the ‘world’.

 

♣”Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make progress” - (Alfred A Montapert) –

▲         SELECTING YOUR MEDIATOR:

Correct selection of your mediator is vital, not only for you, but also for your ‘opposing’ party. If parties do not have a knowledge and understanding of the real Mediation process so that they are able to properly select an appropriately skilled and experienced Mediator, they – and the opposing party - will be victims of a ‘process’ of some unspecific nature imposed upon them by their alleged ‘mediator’ which will fail both parties in their aims. As a consequence, and as is often reported by parties who have suffered at the hands of a person passing themselves off as a ‘mediator, the outcome of the ‘process’ applied to them will more than likely be a failure, or worse, financially costly to both and a total waste of time.

▲  CORPORATE REAL ESTATE (CRE), a publication of the Property Council of Australia (website 2005). The following are my reflections upon a recent article that appeared in that publication i.e. “Seismic Shifts” (CRE - Nov.2004 - Sarah Norris).

The author of ‘Seismic Shifts’quotes Warwick Hobart, regional chair at Core Net Global Australia & NZ: “Typically, commercial leases set the agenda for an adversarial relationship between the tenant and the landlord for the life of the lease.” The author says “In particular, it is the market rent review clause, the make-good or reinstatement clause, the rental underpinning clause and the restrictions put on the tenant’s ability to audit outgoings – which are all there to protect the landlord – which cause the most angst for a tenant.”

The Mediator ▲ PREPARATION FOR MEDIATION – Parties/Advisers and Mediators:

The issues of parties that present themselves for resolution must of course firstly be assessed by advisers and their clients as to whether they are appropriate for the mediation process. However, in the final determination whether a matter proceeds to mediation that major responsibility always falls on the Mediator to make the assessment & decision in the interests of the parties, before commencement. A full Intake of each party (and advisers) should always be conducted by the Mediator before any process commences to enable the mediator to fully assess whether or not mediation is appropriate for the issues the parties intend raising and to ensure no party suffers unnecessary detriment through the process.

 QUOTE FROM ‘CORE’, A U.K. ORGANISATION PROVIDING MEDIATION PROCESS TO LARGE INDUSTRY CORPORATIONS:

In the first six months of 2005, the number of mediations conducted by Core exceeded the total for the whole of 2004 and we are on target this year to exceed the total for all previous years combined.  An increasing number of solicitors now look to mediation at an early stage and use the process creatively to achieve sensible commercial results for their clients.

Email Spamming
.
I have recieved several phone calls from people who have recieved emails allegedly from me selling various 'enlargement' services and other 'exotic' products.

To date, I have not been able to identify the senders nor ensure they cease sending the material and apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused to you.

I assure you none of those emails have been created by this office but unfortunately I have no control over them. I shall however continue to endeavour to eradicate them from this site.
