In July 2016, the Mediation Act (Mediationsgesetz - MediationsG) will have been in force for four years. It was therefore time to take stock of the state of mediation in Germany. In essence, mediation is a procedure for out-of-court conflict resolution, 'in which the parties strive, on a voluntary basis and autonomously, to achieve an amicable resolution of their conflict with the assistance of one or more mediators' (Sec. 1 Mediation Act).
