What services does the Centre’s Mediation Service offer?
1.MIAC only administers international mediation proceedings.
2.The Center administers disputes that are
– directly submitted, that is, where the parties have entered into a mediation agreement in which they expressly submit to mediation by MIAC, or
– referred – that is, where the parties have entered into a mediation agreement in which they submit to mediation by any of the associated entities (CNEM, CEA, CIMA or MediaICAM).
3. Regarding referrals:
- Where the parties entered into a mediation agreement on or after 01.01.2021, referral is automatic.
- Where the parties entered into a mediation agreement prior to 01.01.2021, the associated entities shall begin to administer the proceedings. However, the relevant associated entity will encourage the parties to refer the case to MIAC. If the parties agree to this referral, the Center shall administer the case. Otherwise, the associated entity will continue to conduct the proceedings.
