A historic step in the history of mediation in Ukraine

A historic step in the history of mediation development in Ukraine was announced at the VIII International Forum "Mediation and Law".

Mykhailo Shumylo, a representative of the High Council of Justice, presented the updated structure and content of information for citizens on the Judiciary of Ukraine portal, which now contains a section on mediation as a way to resolve a dispute.

That is, starting from 24.07.2024, on the website of every court of Ukraine of any jurisdiction and instance, visitors can find unified information on mediation to resolve a dispute, in particular: on the mediation procedure, its advantages, its relation to litigation, where to find a mediator.

This is the minimum required standard for informing about mediation on the Judiciary of Ukraine portal. At the same time, courts may also add other information about mediation to their own pages. This step is a manifestation of the judicial system's recognition and support of mediation.

We are sincerely grateful to the High Council of Justice and the State Enterprise "Information Court Systems" for their contribution to the development of mediation in Ukraine!
