Civil Mediation Council Fixed Fee Mediation Scheme for Tech Sector Disputes Below £50,000.

The Civil Mediation Council introduced the Fixed Fee Mediation Scheme to offer parties a low cost method for resolving disputes of less than £50,000. Fees start from £75 per party for disputes below £5,000.

How does it work?

The scheme is administered by those mediators that have agreed to offer the scheme as part of their mediation practice. Parties have the right to use the CMC complaint procedure in the event they are unhappy with the mediator.

How do you find mediators signed up to the scheme?

The claimant or their solicitor can search on the CMC website for mediators that have signed up to the Scheme. The mediator selected can then be contacted directly using the contact details on the CMC website.

Can I use it for a tech sector dispute?

Damian Croker has signed up to the Scheme for tech disputes below £50,000. This means solicitors can now offer their tech sector clients the ability to resolve their lower value disputes through mediation on a low cost fixed fee basis.
