Mediation
How are Federal Court cases managed?
In the Federal Court judges actively manage cases so that they are quickly and efficiently resolved. Parties are expected to assist in bringing about this result. If you are a party to a dispute you should expect that in the early stages of your case the judge will consider whether alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, is likely to assist. In some cases a judge may decide to order the parties to attend mediation even when they don’t agree to it.
