Mediation in India in the Context of Newly Passed Mediation Bill 2023

The team at Ivy Law participated in a webinar on “Mediation in India in the context of Newly Passed Mediation Bill 2023” organized by Bharata Mata School of Legal Studies. The discussion was wide-ranging, covering various aspects of mediation including its importance, steps for mediation process, and the role of parties, among others. The webinar emphasized on how the Mediation Act, 2023, which received the President of India’s assent on 15th September, 2023, aims to foster a link between the mediation and the arbitration of commercial disputes, thus reducing the burden on Indian courts. All the 65 sections and rules of the Mediation Act, 2023 were also deliberated upon exhaustively.
