Mediation - the legal framework

Sascha Kuhn, dispute resolution partner (Düsseldorf) and Jan Zücker, dispute resolution associate (Düsseldorf) look at mediation as a procedure which, like any other, is bound by certain rules. What are these rules, how are they adopted at national level, and how enforceable are they? This podcast outlines the frameworks that impact national legislation, such as Directive 2008/52/EC of the European Parliament and the Singapore Convention on Mediation, and their practical application locally and internationally.
