Mediation as a method of ADR (alternative dispute resolutions) is a process whereby parties attempt to solve their disputes with the assistant of a third person. Therefore, it seems strange to call something "mandatory mediation" because it requires for parties' voluntary participation during the process. However, it is argued that there is a distinction between voluntariness into and within the process. Thus, that coercing parties to attempt mediation is not necessarily tantamount to enforcing settlement.
