OUR ROLE AS MEDIATORS Sample Clauses

OUR ROLE AS MEDIATORS. As mediators we act in an impartial way. We therefore seek to help each of the participants equally. Our role is to assist you each to explore possible ways of resolving disputes or making arrangements on any range of matters related to your separation or future separate living or in any matters relating to family issues. We may only provide legal and/or financial or other information in a neutral way in order to help you understand the options available to you. We may not, do not and cannot provide any advice (of any nature) on a ‘best interests’ or personalised basis. The choices and decisions remain yours to make. It is possible and often very helpful for you to have advice from your own solicitor or legal adviser during the mediation process in order to make informed decisions. You may also wish to liaise with your advisers as mediation progresses in order to enable them to remain informed as to progress. We will as appropriate offer evaluation during or following mediation to inform you as to whether or not any specific way forwards identified in mediation is likely to receive the endorsement of a Court. You may ask us to offer evaluation at any stage of mediation, although there are some circumstances where our Code of Practice requires us to do so. We do not otherwise express opinions or make judgments about your individual or joint situation. We cannot act as mediators if either of us have prior knowledge of the situation through any previous involvement as lawyer, counsellor or in any other professional role. Although we may have other qualifications, in this context we act only as mediators. We shall do our best to help each of you. We ask you to show your integrity and commitment to the mediation process and to co-operate as fully as possible in looking for workable solutions.

  • TESTING OF THE BCDR PLAN The Service Provider shall test the BCDR Plan on a regular basis (and in any event not less than once in every Contract Year). Subject to paragraph 6.2, the Purchaser may require the Service Provider to conduct additional tests of some or all aspects of the BCDR Plan at any time where the Purchaser considers it necessary, including where there has been any change to the Services or any underlying business processes, or on the occurrence of any event which may increase the likelihood of the need to implement the BCDR Plan. If the Purchaser requires an additional test of the BCDR Plan, it shall give the Service Provider written notice and the Service Provider shall conduct the test in accordance with the Purchaser's requirements and the relevant provisions of the BCDR Plan. The Service Provider's costs of the additional test shall be borne by the Purchaser unless the BCDR Plan fails the additional test in which case the Service Provider's costs of that failed test shall be borne by the Service Provider. The Service Provider shall undertake and manage testing of the BCDR Plan in full consultation with the Purchaser and shall liaise with the Purchaser in respect of the planning, performance, and review, of each test, and shall comply with the reasonable requirements of the Purchaser in this regard. Each test shall be carried out under the supervision of the Purchaser or its nominee. The Service Provider shall ensure that any use by it or any Sub-contractor of “live” data in such testing is first approved with the Purchaser. Copies of live test data used in any such testing shall be (if so required by the Purchaser) destroyed or returned to the Purchaser on completion of the test. The Service Provider shall, within twenty (20) Working Days of the conclusion of each test, provide to the Purchaser a report setting out: the outcome of the test; any failures in the BCDR Plan (including the BCDR Plan's procedures) revealed by the test; and the Service Provider's proposals for remedying any such failures. Following each test, the Service Provider shall take all measures requested by the Purchaser, (including requests for the re-testing of the BCDR Plan) to remedy any failures in the BCDR Plan and such remedial activity and re-testing shall be completed by the Service Provider, at no additional cost to the Purchaser, by the date reasonably required by the Purchaser and set out in such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the carrying out of a test of the BCDR Plan (including a test of the BCDR Plan’s procedures) shall not relieve the Service Provider of any of its obligations under this Contract. The Service Provider shall also perform a test of the BCDR Plan in the event of any major reconfiguration of the Services or as otherwise reasonably requested by the Purchaser.

  • Mediation Service The Mediation Service is a free and independent service available through MBIE. This service helps to resolve employment relationship problems and generally to promote the smooth conduct of employment relationships. Mediation is a mutual problem solving process, with the aim of reaching an agreement, assisted by an independent third party. If the parties can’t reach a settlement they can ask the mediator, in writing, to make a final and binding decision. A settlement reached through mediation and signed by the mediator at the request of the parties is final, binding and enforceable. Neither party can then take the matter any further and either party can be made to comply with the agreed settlement by court order. If the problem is unresolved through mediation either party may apply to have the matter dealt with by the Employment Relations Authority.
