The Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, aims to give greater prominence to mediation and conflict resolution through a procedural reform law next October in the Council of Ministers.
Minister Campo defends that “if we want Justice to be useful, it is necessary to resort to alternative instruments to judicial resolution.” And he states that “with the empowerment of these alternative and complementary means to conflict resolution, the maxim of the Enlightenment and the codifying process is fulfilled: before entering the temple of Justice, one must pass through the temple of concord.”
As is already being carried out in many processes, the minister is committed to asking the parties in the civil and commercial courts, prior to the litigation, to try to negotiate and reach agreements between themselves: “If we add economic incentives to this and procedural for the negotiation, the result will be that a large part of the issues they would never come to trial. The conflict is resolved sooner, in a more agile and effective way.” Thus, he believes that the result would be less burdensome for the Administration of Justice "but, above all, faster and more satisfactory for the citizen."
The Cádiz minister is committed to the philosophy of strengthening the negotiated conflict resolution as a practical model of society, “one that privileges agreement over conflict. “The dialogue about confrontation and tension.”
It is, without a doubt, the time to opt for mediation to expand your professional career, because mediation is not the future... it is the present.
