“It is very effective in neighbour disputes, problems with contracts, inheritance claims and in many other areas,” he said.
“What I do is facilitate a meeting between the parties to identify the issues and for the parties to reach an amicable settlement of their dispute which they can live with.”
“It saves expensive court costs, leads to quicker results and also helps save the stress and anxiety that arises in such situations,” he added.
“Litigation is now being seen as much more of a last resort and methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution such as mediation is being seen as the way forward.”
