JUDICIAL MEDIATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COMPANY (Atena Editora)

JUDICIAL MEDIATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COMPANY (Atena Editora), 2022

This article aims to deal with judicial mediation in the context of the company, whose measure is inserted as one of the alternative means of conflict resolution (these being understood as divergence between two or more parties): alternative dispute resolutions (ADRS), in which the solution is delivered to them, whether individuals or legal entities are involved. This institute is foreseen in Brazil in the Judicial Mediation Law under n. 13.140/2015 [1], in the Code of Civil Procedure - Law no. 13.105/2015 [2] and in Resolution number 125/2010 of the National Council of Justice [3]. Submitting a process to mediation, applicable in the case of a conflict involving available rights or unavailable rights that admit a transaction (when there is the possibility of some kind of negotiation), a third neutral element, called a mediator, assists the parties. In this environment, autonomy of the will is privileged, valuing consensus, which the doctrine calls procedural consensualism. There are legal principles governing the matter. Mediation aims at dialogue between those involved. Companies will have a lot to gain if, facing conflicts in their midst or among other companies, they choose this path. This, little by little, is being known and adopted. In the business sector in Brazil, the challenges are many. And so also when, in the commercial sector, in general, there are conflicts. Our civil procedural law requires that the parties be accompanied by a lawyer or public defender (very important figures in the process), especially in the sessions they hold. These will play a key role in the success of the respective procedures. The present work makes use of bibliographical research, focused on the study of the theories emitted by the authors that expose the subject. It uses national and foreign doctrine, the Law, Court resolutions, the National Council of Justice and the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The method will be inductive. Judicial mediations in the country are carried out in the Judicial Centers for Conflict Resolution and Citizenship (CEJUSCS) and also in the Judicial Courts that have jurisdiction. Many countries are familiar with the institute under study, including the United States, France, Japan, Canada and Australia. If a mediation procedure is successful, the result will be consecrated win x win, without loser or winner. In the last two decades, this medium has been used with time gain (shorter process duration) and lower costs. Finally, it is concluded that companies must be suggested, when appropriate, to submit conflicts to mediation, as it is healthy for them, as we understand that it is defined as a public policy measure. If there is a satisfactory result, there is empowerment of the parties.

Mediation as an Alternative Means to the Business Dispute Resolution

12th International Scientific Conference “Business and Management 2022”

In business, disputes often arise over contractual relationships when contractual obligations are not properly fulfilled. The potential risk of disputes must always be assessed. Timing and adherence to agreed deadlines are very important in business, as any delay can cause significant damage, and the legal entity can suffer significant losses. In a dispute between business partners, people tend to go to the court and fight there to the fullest rather than reach an amicable settlement, but there is always a winning and losing party in a litigation. From a long-term perspective, it will be impossible for the disputing parties to work together in the future, and the losing party will always feel great resentment towards the winner. Therefore, litigation is not always an attractive option and in this case mediation is a great way to resolve business disputes due to its expediency. Mediation is a dynamic, structured, interactive process which is focused on the needs, rights, and interest...

South African Law Journal, 2015

As commercial mediation makes its advance into the dispute resolution arena in South Africa, the article analyses the role of the mediator in the process from a legal and regulatory perspective. After discussing the qualities, skills and role of the mediator, the piece analyses the models of mediation most appropriate to the resolution of commercial disputes. The article proceeds to deal with education, training, accreditation and standards with particular reference to best practice experience from the EU and USA as a guide for the developing commercial mediation industry in South Africa. The possibility that legal proceedings might be brought against mediators is a significant form of accountability. Experience from other jurisdictions suggests that proceedings are likely to be taken against mediators by aggrieved disputants or third parties in South Africa. A number of situations are identified and analysed in light of existing jurisprudence where parties could seek to hold commercial mediators liable, as well as the steps that can be followed in order to limit exposure. The article also discusses mediator immunity before concluding with a discussion on the relationship between mediation and the practice of law in order to avoid confusion between the two roles of mediator and lawyer.
