Mediation can be applied to many different types of problem, disagreement or dispute: legal, commercial, contract, community, property, neighbour, business and more.
The disagreements are often about perceptions of fairness, morality, a difference in expectations, a concept of right and wrong, a feeling of unfair treatment, or a disagreement about money.
Perhaps someone expected something to happen and it didn’t happen. Or maybe it didn’t happen to the standard they expected. Such expectations could be around performance of a task, payment of money, or the supply of a product or service. Or something unexpected may have happened, so someone feels they should be compensated.
That’s just a few general examples, but there are very many more disagreements that can benefit from mediation.
