Judicial mediation


The tribunal judge may offer judicial mediation if the case is likely to last three or more days. Both sides must agree. A judicial mediation usually lasts one day. It is managed by a judge who will try to help the parties reach a settlement. If mediation fails, a different judge will hear the case. There is no charge. It is sensible to take an up-to-date statement of the compensation you want (and your bottom line), and to be clear on any other solutions you hope to achieve, such as a reference. For more information, see the Employment Tribunal Presidential Guidance on Judicial Mediation.
