Judicial mediation in 2026: distinguish a draft from an effective procedure

Work, contracts & property

What the sources say

At the first national conference on 20 August 2026, the Justice Minister described the mediation law as a draft. [1]

Scope & conditions: A draft announcement does not establish enactment or commencement.

Conference sessions included mediation's role in the investment environment and international experience. [1]

Scope & conditions: These are discussion topics, not filing conditions or binding deadlines.

On 8 September 2026 the ministry reported continuing judicial development and mediation efforts. [2]

Scope & conditions: That report likewise does not supply an effective mediation statute.

Practical preparation suggestions, not a mandatory document list or a substitute for the authority’s requirements.

Write down the disputed issues and agreed facts.
Identify representatives and the limits of their negotiating/signing authority.
Assemble the contract, claims and key records for both sides.
Ask about the legal basis, administering body and cost of mediation.
Obtain reviewed written terms on confidentiality, procedure and documenting settlement.
Ask counsel about litigation deadlines; do not assume negotiation suspends them.

Questions to verify your circumstances with the relevant authority, not assumptions of approval or exemption.
