      Not only  is mediation a waste of time, but the application process is an even bigger waste    of time and money… approximately $85.00!

      In my experience the other party declined to attend on all but one occasion, in the one they did attend the OC sent their lawyer who charged $500 and did nothing to ease the situation. The matter naturally went onto NCAT which cost a further $90.00. You cannot lodge an application with NCAT for adjudicators orders without having attempted mediation….. seems like a money grabbing ploy to me especially when  the mediator has no power to enforce and anything contentious that is said in mediation cannot be used at NCAT.

      NB: Since this was posted, NSW Fair Trading has
      eliminated all fees for mediation.
