Sommario:
- <p>In line with international developments, both the judiciary and the legislature in Ireland have <br>strongly supported the use of mediation in civil matters and have taken steps to encourage <br>litigants to engage in mediation as a means of resolving their dispute(s). In the context of <br>medical negligence claims, mediation has been recognised as particularly suitable given its <br>potential to ameliorate the costs and duration of these cases, as well as its capacity to address<br>the emotional components which are frequently present in these cases where harm and/or loss <br>has occurred. Although mediation has been an option available to disputants in Ireland for some <br>time, the Mediation Act 2017 introduced a formal framework for the integration of mediation <br>in the civil justice system in 2018. However, little is known about the operation of mediation <br>in these disputes in practice. Against this backdrop, this research examines the use of mediation <br>in the resolution of medical negligence disputes, through an exploration of attitudes to the <br>process, drawing on the findings of a qualitative study (interviews with Barristers). Though <br>focused on Ireland, the findings underscore important considerations for policymakers <br>internationally, including the impact of legal culture on dispute resolution processes, and the <br>necessity for a more considered mediation model in medical negligence disputes.</p>
