THE SCC MEDIATION INSTITUTE

The SCC Mediation Institute was established in 1999 to assist in the settlement of domestic and International disputes in accordance with the SCC Mediation Rules.

The SCC Mediation Rules offers an efficient dispute resolution to parties not wishing to engage in formarl arbitral proceedings.

The salient features of the Rules are the following:

• A sole Mediator is appointed, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The Mediator may be appointed by the parties jointly, or by the SCC Mediation Institute.
  
• The time limit for the Mediation is two months, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
  
• After having reached a settlement agreement, the parties may agree to appoint the Mediator as arbitrator in order to enable him to confirm the settlement agreement in an arbitral award.
