Organising a CEDR Solve Direct Mediation
with Richard Butler |
|
| Fees |
|
Two-party mediations |
£200 per hour for a two-party
mediation. Assuming a 10 hour mediation plus up to 5 hours preparation,
totalling 15 hours, the total 2-party mediation fee would be £3,000 + travel
+ VAT |
|
Three-party mediations |
£225 per hour for a
three-party mediation. Assuming a 10 hour mediation plus up to 5 hours
preparation, totalling 15 hours, the total 2-party mediation fee would be

|
More parties - To be
discussed. |
|
Fees are to be shared between
the parties in proportions which would need to be agreed in advance. VAT and
travelling expenses would be added to the invoice. CEDR would invoice the
parties ahead of the mediation and payment would need to be made to CEDR
before the mediation day. |

All I would add to this guidance is:
1 I usually find that if the case is already
pleaded, the statements of case give me a good understanding of the
principal issues without needing this to be repeated at length in specially
prepared submissions.
2
A detailed understanding of all previous without prejudice negotiations plus
copies of any Part 36 Offers and responses to them and any payments into
court is very important.
3 Frequently mediation bundles include quite a lot of
unnecessary material – evidence which will be important at trial for
painting a full picture to a decider of fact, but which does not really need
to be considered in advance by a mediator.
4 Sometimes mediation bundles and
submissions are very light on quantum materials. I would always want to know
in advance how the full quantum of any money claim is built up and, on the
day, what the costs of each party to the end of the mediation day are, plus
anticipated further costs to trial. |
