Experience shows that personal meetings often leads to accountability, understanding, and thus agreement between the parties. The agreements signed in Mediation involves financial compensation, work to be performed or that the parties talking together and sign a reconciliation agreement, the message from the Head of Office Vera Andersen.
– for example, got youngsters who accidentally set fire to a building, meet the owner, regret what they had done and enter into an agreement to clear temporary housing and to pay the owner’s insurance deductible. Or the person who made misappropriation of the employer, had the opportunity to meet employer had explained what had happened and agreed on a deal for a refund of the employer’s loss. The person who “tapped” buddy’s ATM card, met his friend in a mediation meeting, admitted the incident and made up for it.
