“Mediate First” Pledge is a campaign launched by the Department of Justice in 2009 to encourage the use of mediation as the first step to resolve disputes.
The “Mediate First” Pledge (“the Pledge”) is a non-legally binding statement of commitment by pledgees to first explore the use of mediation to resolve disputes before resorting to other means of dispute resolution, such as court litigation.
To date, over 1,000 companies, organisations/associations and individuals have signed the Pledge. Sign the Pledge here.
| “Mediate First” pledgees will receive a “Mediate First” Pledge logo (the “MFP Logo”) for display at their shops, outlets, and workplaces. Pledgees may also adopt the MFP Logo, without any modifications, for use on their letterhead and other publications.
The MFP Logo serves to signify a pledgee’s status as a participant in the “Mediate First” Pledge campaign. It also reflects a pledgee’s commitment to adopting mediation as a preferred method for resolving disputes and recognition of the benefits of mediation. |
