Court-Annexed Mediation
Resolve Disputes Without Going to Court.
Court-annexed civil mediation is a structured, cost-effective alternative to litigation. It's faster, more affordable, and gives both parties control over the outcome — without the uncertainty of a court judgment.
What Is Court-Annexed Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral mediator helps parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution. It is recognised by South African courts and can resolve disputes in weeks rather than years. A signed settlement agreement is legally binding.
