How to Mediate Cases Involving Power Imbalance

We welcomed four of CEDR’s top mediators to talk about the nature of Power Imbalance and how mediators can best tackle situations where inequality within mediation causes a challenge.

Handling power imbalances between the parties in mediation can be one of the most challenging skills for a mediator to master. Whether it is working with parties where there is unequal legal representation or experience, or where one party is facing multiple opponents, it is important that a mediator is able to bring balance and neutrality to the situation.

CEDR Chief Executive James South is joined by visiting CEDR fellow Haamid Ben Fayed, a mediator and lawyer from Auckland, New Zealand working on cases for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to discuss the use of mandatory mediation in New Zealand and the lessons for the United Kingdom.

With James and Haamid’s experiences of small claims schemes in both jurisdictions, they discuss how the process of mandatory time-limited mediation works in mediation in New Zealand and the way that cases are automatically referred to mediation. They will then look at how mediators work in practice with parties, consider the effect of using employed mediators and explore success rates and satisfaction with the service and its applicability to the UK.
