Consensual Mediation-Arbitration Sample Clauses
The Consensual Mediation-Arbitration clause establishes a process where parties agree to first attempt to resolve disputes through mediation, and if unsuccessful, proceed to binding arbitration. In practice, this means that if a disagreement arises, both sides must participate in a non-binding mediation session to try to reach a voluntary settlement; if no agreement is reached, the dispute is then submitted to an arbitrator whose decision is final and enforceable. This clause ensures that parties have an opportunity to resolve conflicts amicably before resorting to a more formal and binding resolution, thereby promoting efficient dispute resolution and potentially reducing litigation costs.

If the parties are unable to settle the grievance by mediation, the Mediator-Arbitrator must endeavour to assist the parties to agree on the material facts in dispute and then must determine the grievance by arbitration. The Mediator-Arbitrator must give a succinct decision within twenty-one (21) days after completing proceedings on the grievance submitted to arbitration.
