<br />
Mediation is a procedure to resolve disputes without taking them to court.<br />
<br />
An independent and skilled mediator aims to assist the parties to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the points of conflict between them.<br />
<br />
In the UK, mediators have no powers to oblige the parties to accept a settlement.<br />
<br />
