Dispute Resolution

Kingston upon Hull City Council, GB pools resources with University of Hull on Mediation Centre

Local residents and businesses can resolve civil disputes outside of court at the Mediation Centre. Resolution experts provide mediation to conflicting parties with final-year law students on hand to observe. Council customers use Hull's Corporate Feedback Scheme to take up complaints against public departments. The Mediation Centre reduces the legal expenses and docket backlog created by contract, rental, and employment conflicts.

Tecumseh, ON encourages residents to resolve conflicts with community mediation pilot

Town officials developed the one-year pilot with Community Mediation of Windsor-Essex. Residents who have conflicts not covered by the town's regulations meet with volunteer mediators at public meeting spaces. A one-day mediation session can resolve neighborhood, school, and family disputes for free. Tecumseh pursued this program to build conflict-resolution skills in residents that reduce police calls and public complaints.
