ABSTRACT

“A major legislative achievement intended to strengthen India's alternative conflict resolution system is the Mediation Act 2023. In order to make mediation procedures more accessible, effective, and efficient for settling civil and business disputes, this Act proposes extensive revisions. Important clauses include the creation of mediator standards, the requirement for pre- litigation mediation in some circumstances, and the use of digital platforms for mediation. The goal of the Act is to lessen the load on the court system and encourage a cooperative approach to conflict resolution by cultivating a culture of peaceful settlement. The main components of the Mediation Act 2023, its expected effects on the legal system, and possible implementation difficulties are all critically examined in this article.”
