Provincial Condo Acts often support mediation as a next step to problem resolution between a condo corp. and condo corporation, residents and owners. Those services are typically mediation, then arbitration, and then legal action.
Mediation is applicable for all types of separations (not going to move to resolving them from “positions,” to “needs,” to “interests,” i.e., de-escalation).
Mediation is not arbitration. Mediators are not decision-makers; they facilitate negotiation and are neutral. They’re not necessarily lawyers and are not there to provide legal advice. They’re specifically skilled to guide the parties.
Keep in mind that mediation may not be suitable where there is a dangerous situation requiring immediate action or a legal limitation period is set to expire.
