Mediation (Canadian Law)

The most popular form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), mediation involves the appointment of a mediator who acts as a facilitator assisting the parties in communicating, essentially negotiating a settlement.

The result of a successful mediation is called a "settlement." Compare with arbitration.
