Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that is carried out voluntarily and with the participation of an impartial, independent third person, that brings the parties together for the purpose of negotiating and negotiations, and establishes a communication process between them in order to ensure that they understand each other and thereby produce their own solutions. It is applied in the resolution of private law disputes arising from business or transactions on which the parties can freely dispose of.
Mediation, which started to be applied primarily in the United States of America in the twentieth century and then in England, Australia and Canada and spread to many European countries until today, is now an alternative dispute resolution method accepted worldwide. In our country, the mediation establishment, which entered our legal system with the Law on Mediation in Legal Disputes numbered 6325, appears as a short-term, flexible, confidential, consent-based and inexpensive solution that emerges as an alternative to long and costly litigation processes.
The ability to solve legal problems quickly and inexpensively - by establishing dialogue - through the unification of the parties on a common ground, pursuing common interests, and even establishing forward-looking partnerships is not only an innovation that relieves the current legal system; it also means the establishment of a constructive and advanced legal order.
