Mediation: a practical guide fills a gap in the market for constructive but non-specific mediation guidance. With so many manuals for the resolution of particular disputes in specific areas on offer, Stitt has managed to produce a functional reference for multiple scenarios in a variety of spheres.
This version of his Canadian book Mediating Commercial Disputes is designed for the UK market but as mediation becomes a more highly regarded method of dispute resolution, Mediation: a practical guide has great relevance for experienced and aspiring Australian mediators. In explaining what mediation is, the rationale behind it and how it differs from litigation, Stitt offers perceptive analysis and useful real-life examples.
The ‘Tips for mediators’ in text boxes at the end of each section are simple and effective and his clear, concise style makes for an accessible and informative read, even for those with only a passing interest or concern in the subject.
This book should enable readers to approach mediation with more understanding and confidence. It gives clear suggestions for lawyers, mediators and HR practitioners and shows the way to achieve good and long-lasting mediated settlements.
