A good decision. It's high time referral between the courts and mediation became normal and expected. The Law only deals with the legal narrative of cases. The conflict drivers of litigation are often non legal. Those aspects of cases need to be dealt with in mediation as a matter of course. When free movement between litigation and mediation becomes normal we will be on our way to a functional DR system that is capable of dealing with all aspects of disputes. It will be faster, more humane and cheaper.
