Civil and Commercial Mediation in Europe

Description

Mediation is becoming an increasingly important tool for resolving civil and commercial disputes. The European Directive 200852EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21.5.2008 on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters prescribes a set of minimum common rules on mediation for all EU Member States with the exception of Denmark. This book studies in depth the current legal framework in every EU Member State as regards mediation in civil and commercial matters, as well as the way in which the Directive has been, or is expected to be, implemented in the near future.
