Mediation Legal Landscape Update - What Lawyers Need to Know in 2024

The last 12 months have seen landmark developments in the legal landscape around mediation. The seminal Court of Appeal Churchill case of 2023 overturned the 2004 Halsey decision and has brought in judge-directed mediation and the ability for the courts to compel mediation. Alongside Churchill, there have been several other key, but less high profile mediation law developments including the Civil Justice Council’s (CJC) recent report on Pre-Action Protocols and case law developments. This update is specifically designed for private practice and in-house lawyers, focussing on what they can learn from the report and the case law to best influence the outcome of disputes.
