Mediation in Family and Labour Law Conflicts

Peaceful settlement of disputes serves not only the interest of the parties concerned but also that of the entire society. Our hypothesis is that mediation has a great but partly unexploited potential for preventing and handling conflicts. To prove this we use the example of conflict resolution in Croatian family and Hungarian labour law. We examine various levels of regulation (international, regional, European and national) and explore to what extent is mediation effective in the two selected fields. The research focuses, amongst others, on the following areas: legal background (acts, collective agreements, ethical codes, etc.), specific features of labour and family conflicts, examples of good and bad practice, weak and strong points of the national systems. Key issues, such as education, costs, confidentiality and enforceability are also covered. We list the obstacles which hinder mediation and make recommendations on how to make the most of mediation in the future.
