Mediation in Administrative Court Cases

Mediation is an alternative form of dispute resolution. It also applies to cases heard at administrative courts. The mediation process in administrative court cases is initiated at the request of the complaining party or the authority concerned. The request should be submitted before the hearing is scheduled. However, it is also permissible to conduct mediation if the parties submit no such request. The arrangements made in the mediation process do not replace an administrative court ruling. What they do is to allow the authority participating in the proceedings to self-revise the contested act or action.
