NLJ this week: Compulsory mediation, unwilling parties and Halsey―Pt 3

63563
Tony Allen, solicitor and CEDR Chambers mediator, continues his series of articles on whether mediation can be compulsorily ordered, in this week’s NLJ

In the third of his series, he looks at the authoritative rather than obiter parts of the Halsey judgment.

Allen considers what difference the introduction of a power for courts to order unwilling parties to mediate could make, what other options could be used, and how the recruitment of judges with extensive experience of mediation is going to modify their approach to unwilling parties.
