The Secretariat will communicate the acceptance of the case, the date of the first meeting and the name of the designated Mediator and will invite the Parties to the first Mediation meeting.

The first Mediation meeting involves the effective entry into mediation of the Parties, with the aim of reaching Conciliation, lasting at least two hours, which can be extended on the same day, following agreements with the Secretariat, which normally takes place within a period of between 20 and 40 days from the filing of the request, at the end of which the Parties must express to the Mediator their willingness to follow through with mediation or to conclude the attempt.

If the first meeting ends without conciliation and the Parties decide to continue, the mediation is postponed to another date with the setting of one or more subsequent meetings of different duration, agreed upon in compliance with the needs and availability of the participants.

In the event of continuation beyond the first meeting, the Parties shall pay additional mediation costs as per the provisions of art. 30 et seq. of Decree no. 150 of 24.10.2023 based on the value of the dispute.

In mandatory mediations, it is necessary for the Parties to be assisted by a Lawyer; in voluntary mediations, however, the Parties may participate alone.

How does mediation end?

The mediation may conclude, in the event of a positive outcome, with the signing of an agreement between the Parties, in which case the agreement minutes, signed by the Parties and their Lawyers constitute an enforceable title, have the value of a sentence and are immediately enforceable.

When an agreement is not reached, the Mediator may formulate a proposal for conciliation. If the Parties decide not to adhere to it, the Mediator records their respective positions in the minutes of the failed conciliation.

Mediation can also be concluded with a report of non-appearance, if a duly summoned invited Party decides not to participate even in the first meeting.
