Solution

The Civil Procedure Act, specifically sections 59A-59D, deals with the mediation process in civil disputes. Here's a step-by-step examination of these provisions:

  1. Section 59A: This section provides the definition of mediation. It is a structured negotiation process in which the mediator, chosen by the disputing parties, assists them in resolving their disputes by facilitating discussions between them, assisting them in identifying issues, developing options, considering alternatives and endeavouring to reach an agreement.

  2. Section 59B: This section deals with the appointment of a mediator. It states that a court may, by order, refer proceedings to mediation by a mediator agreed to by the parties or, failing agreement, appointed by the court.

  3. Section 59C: This section outlines the role of a mediator. The mediator must conduct the mediation in a manner that he or she considers appropriate, having regard to the circumstances of the dispute, the wishes of the parties and the need for a prompt and cost-effective resolution of the dispute.

  4. Section 59D: This section provides for the confidentiality and inadmissibility of anything said or done in mediation. It states that evidence of anything said or done in mediation is not admissible in any court or any body exercising judicial power, except as provided by this or any other Act or law.

In terms of what to include in the mediation rules under these sections, the following points could be considered:

  1. The process for selecting a mediator, including any qualifications or experience required.
  2. The steps the mediator will take to facilitate discussion and help the parties reach an agreement.
  3. The process for handling any disputes or disagreements that arise during mediation.
  4. The rules around confidentiality and what information can and cannot be shared outside of the mediation process.
  5. The process for finalizing and enforcing any agreements reached during mediation.
  6. Any costs associated with the mediation process and how these will be shared between the parties.
