How long does it take?
Mediation usually takes between 2 and 3 sessions depending on the complexity of the issues. Each session lasts approximately 2 hours but it is often the case if things are progressing this may be extended.
Cost
The participants agree beforehand to share the cost equally and payment is made in advance. The costs usually entail the hiring or a room(s) in a neutral venue for half a day and the fees of the mediator which are usually calculated on an hourly rate.
It is a comparatively cheap informal and speedy process especially when compared to the legal fees and delay involved in Court Litigation and is seen as a cost effective method of resolving dispute
For most mediation sessions (with the exception of complex financial industrial or legal matters) the mediator charges a fixed hourly fee to be paid by both parties equally unless they agree otherwise.
Pre-mediation meetings – €100 per person
Joint mediations sessions hourly – €100 per person
Settlement meeting (separate from Joint mediations) – €100
Travel allowance (not applicable in Letterkenny) – €0.40/km
Cost of meeting rooms, usually (for half a day) – €110
EXAMPLE: Typical mediation with 2 hour joint session with no separate settlement session:
Mediators fee – €600
Conference room – €110
Total – €710
Cost per person – €355
Vat is not charged at this time for these services.
The outcome
Any settlement arising from the process known as a Mediated Settlement can either be verbal or put into writing and under the Mediation Act 2017 the participants can state if they do not wish it to be binding. You can bring this document to a solicitor if you wish to be drawn into a legal contract or deed of separation or use it as the basis for a decree of divorce
