The Mediation Contract serves as a crucial document in alternative dispute resolution processes within the Canadian legal framework. It is typically used when parties seek to resolve their disputes through mediation rather than litigation, providing a more cost-effective and expeditious resolution method. This contract type establishes the essential elements of the mediation process, including the selection and appointment of the mediator, confidentiality requirements, cost allocation, and procedural guidelines. The document must comply with both federal and provincial legislation, particularly in areas such as commercial mediation laws, privacy regulations, and professional conduct requirements. It's designed to protect all parties' interests while facilitating a structured approach to dispute resolution, incorporating specific provisions based on the nature of the dispute and the parties involved.
