CIArb Scotland “Why Mediations Can Fail”

Date: 5 December 2016

In a presentation to CIArb Scotland, Rosemary Jackson QC considers why some mediations do not conclude in a settlement and why such they should be regarded as a valuable and cost-effective process notwithstanding the absence of a settlement. She examines some of the preparatory steps that may assist, and some of the pitfalls which get in the way of settlement on the day.
