‘Mediation is a flexible, and generally cost effective way of resolving disputes outside of the courtroom. Although mediation is growing in popularity, particularly in run-of-the-mill commercial disputes, there are still instances where the parties, given the option to mediate, choose to litigate. Such a choice comes with a high degree of risk, as emphasised by a recent decision of the High Court in Manchester – Garritt-Critchley v Ronnan [2014] EWHC 1774 (Ch).’
