Mediation Procedure in Labour Law Disputes
Journal Title: Białostockie Studia Prawnicze - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 21
Abstract
Th e subject matter of the dissertation embraces issues concerning mediation in labour law disputes. Th e article is focused on the amendments which were enacted into the Civil Procedure Code on 1 January 2016. Th ey should contribute to an increase in signifi cance and popularity of mediation, which is alternative to judicial procedures and relatively inexpensive. As previously, mediation may be conducted under an agreement between the parties (employee and employer) and the mediator or the decision of the court. At present the court may refer the parties to mediation at every stage of judicial procedures and it can proceed in that way many times. Moreover, before the fi rst trial the court may oblige the parties to take part in an information meeting concerning mediation. Th e aim of the meeting is to impel the parties to reach agreement. In spite of the fact that mediation, as before, is voluntary, the legislator has enhanced instruments which are supposed to restrain the parties from an unjustifi ed refusal to participate in mediation proceedings. According to the Civil Procedure Code, the party may be charged for legal expenses.
