Judicial Mediation was introduced in Greece by Law 4055/2012 on “Due Process and reasonable duration thereof” adding article 214B in the Greek Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”). Pursuant to this article, private law disputes can -if the parties mutually agree- be resolved alternatively by use of Judicial Mediation at any stage of or before the Litigation action.
Judicial Mediation could serve both parties’ best interests as it is quick and cost effective. Further, the Minute constitutes an enforceable title. Judicial Mediation will also be of benefit to the parties because it is conducted in flexible and simple terms and it is confidential.
