The Mediation as a Method of Alternative Civil Dispute Resolution

This article is devoted to the study of mediation as one of the main alternative ways of resolving disputes of civil law nature in civil proceedings in Ukraine.The Mediation provides a structured and effective method of resolving conflicts between parties. It allows the parties to come to an agreement and find a mutually beneficial solution, bypassing lengthy and costly litigation. It’s important to note, that the mediation helps to reduce the burden on the judiciary, freeing up resources for more complex and contentious cases. It can speed up the dispute resolution process and reduce the cost of administrative procedures. During process of the mediation, the parties themselves make decisions about their future, which promotes their self-determination and autonomy. This is particularly important in the context of civil and commercial disputes, where the parties want to retain control over their rights, freedoms, property, ect.

The main purpose of the article is to conduct the research of the theory of civil procedure law and national legislation with a view to studying the essence of mediation as an alternative method of resolving civil law disputes. Also an important aspect of the study is the necessity of the formulation of the scientific conclusions of improvement of the legislative regulation and development of the mediation institution.

The study uses general scientific and special legal methods adopted in national jurisprudence: systemic, historical and legal, formal legal and other methods. In the course of the study of civil procedural peculiarities of mediation implementation in the context of dispute resolution, the following methods were also used: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy and legal modelling.

Focusing on the development of mediation as a means of resolving civil disputes and harmonisation national legislation with European standards are important components of the process of ensuring justice and stability in society. This path requires joint efforts of the state, the scientific community and international experts. By promoting mediation, reducing the burden on the judicial system and introducing a culture of peaceful conflict resolution, we are paving the way for a more integrated and humane society that meets European standards of law and democracy.

Key words: The mediation, the civil process of Ukraine, alternative dispute resolution options.
