Mediation is an out-of-court procedure, in which the parties seek the resolution of a dispute through a neutral third party (the mediator), in order to reach an acceptable solution that does not conflict with the law. Mediation is now widely used in various areas of life as an easy and economical legal tool to resolve disputes.
