An interesting question was raised today at a seminar ... can mediation be used for every type of dispute?
Much is available on-line about where it can be used. Between School Kids - yes; Between a convicted murder and the victims family - yes; mining company and indigenous people - yes; between 2 political parites - shoud happen more often; between two warring nations - yes; Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva - you bet!
So when is it just not possible to set up a mediation?
