Hi again, Adrian That was exactly my point: as you say, if the parties want to make their mediation binding, "check and safeguards can be built into guarantee and enforce the outcome of a mediation", but by definition mediation "is not binding of itself."
Adrian MM. (X) Nov 6, 2015:
Mediator's quote Rebecca, I have been to several talks on mediation by UK mediators who do indeed say that several check and safeguards can be built into guarantee and enforce the outcome of a mediation that is not be binding of itself.
Rebecca Jowers Nov 6, 2015:
Additional reference From the UK College of Mediators’ webpage (article entitled “What is Mediation?”): “Decisions made in mediation are documented but are not legally binding. A legal agreement, should you require one, can be drawn up from the document by solicitors.” http://www.collegeofmediators.co.uk/?q=node/12
Rebecca Jowers Nov 6, 2015:
Hi Adrian, I don't believe this is really a US-UK distinction. Certainly parties to a dispute may choose to submit to binding mediation, since they are free to agree to anything that they believe is in their interest. But by definition mediation is not binding in the sense that mediators do not issue binding decisions (awards) but rather assist parties in reaching their own agreement. Here are definitions from three UK law dictionaries that underscore this difference vs. arbitration: 1) Penguin Dictionary of Law, 2009 (Julian Web): “The outcome remains with the parties, and a mediator has no power or authority to impose a settlement on the parties, unlike an arbitrador.” 2) Oxford Dictionary of Law, 2006 (Elizabeth Martin/Johnathan Law): “The mediator has no decisión-making powers and cannot force the parties to accept a settlement.” 3) Osborn’s Concise Law Dictionary, Sweet & Maxwell, 2005 (Mick Woodley): “However, this process does not guarantee a resolution of a dispute as such depends upon the agreement of the parties, the mediator having no power to decide the dispute.”
Adrian MM. (X) Nov 6, 2015:
Mediation enforceable in the EU/UK Rebecca's ref. is to the US. But, certainly in the UK, the outcome of a mediation (facilitated by Barristers-cum-psychotherapists from Hampstead) can be made binding if the parties agree, http://www.linklaters.com/Insights /European_Mediation_Directive_UK_Practice/Pages/Implementation_European_Mediation_Directive_UK_Practice.aspx

plus the compulsory pre-trial stage in Switzerland is traditionally known in EN as 'conciliation'.
Rebecca Jowers Nov 6, 2015:
Conciliation/Mediation vs. Arbitration The main difference between conciliation/mediation and arbitration is that the arbitrator's decision is binding and parties submitting to arbitration agree to abide by his/her decision (called "award" in English and "laudo" in Spanish). If they do not, an arbitral award can be enforced in a court of law. In conciliation or mediation, the conciliator or mediator seeks to help the parties reach an agreement, but makes no binding decision or recommendation. Here is an explanation of other differences:

Following these statements there is a section about submitting to arbitration through Centro de Arbitraje y Conciliación de la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá. I found their website and their own translation of their name is: Center of Arbitration and Conciliation of the Chamber of Commerce of Bogota.

@ Teressa I am wondering if this corresponds to arbitration in the US

DESCRIPCIÓN MECANISMOS ALTERNATIVOS AL PROCESO JUDICIAL

A pesar de los avances que han significado los procesos de reforma a la justicia en América Latina, el acceso de múltiples grupos de la población aún aparece limitado por diversas barreras. Entre ellas está el alto costo que el proceso judicial suele implicar para las partes, el largo tiempo que suelen demorar los procesos, la percepción de corrupción y en algunos casos la ubicación geográfica de los tribunales, usualmente ubicados en lugares céntricos o alejados de algunos grupos de la población. En consecuencia, se genera un conjunto de necesidades jurídicas insatisfechas ante las cuales la justicia tradicional, en general, se presenta como ajena y distante. Para satisfacer estas necesidades ciudadana de justicia, han surgido una serie de mecanismos e iniciativas destinadas a constituirse en opciones para que la ciudadanía pueda satisfacerlas de manera más sencilla, rápida y a menor costo. Estos problemas de acceso, se ven agravados cuando los ciudadanos/as se encuentran en condición de vulnerabilidad, ya sea ésta debida a su edad, condición sexual, género, etnia, discapacidad, pobreza, etc…

A partir de estos desafíos, los países de la región latinoamericana han venido siguiendo distintas estrategias para ampliar el acceso a la justicia, tanto a nivel de la administración de justicia tradicional, como mediante la incorporación de mecanismos informales o alternativos al proceso judicial tradicional. Entre estos encontramos procedimientos especiales para enfrentar pequeñas causas y de justicia vecinal, nuevos procedimientos de ejecución y cobranza, medios alternativos de solución de conflictos (MASC), el reconocimiento de la justicia de los pueblos originarios, la utilización de manera creciente de nuevas tecnologías para brindar servicios judiciales en línea, entre otros. Estas estrategias se deben explorar como medidas para confrontar las barreras de acceso a justicia y al mismo tiempo contribuir a un sistema de justicia más eficiente.

Consideramos necesario observar todas estas experiencias desde una perspectiva amplia más allá de la visión clásica que se centra de forma exclusiva en el Arbitraje, Mediación y Conciliación. De esta manera, hemos acuñado el término Mecanismos Alternativos al Proceso Judicial (MAPJ) el cual nace con la idea de poder abarcar a todas aquellas instancias distintas al proceso judicial tradicional que tienen por objetivo impartir una justicia más flexible y que mejore el Acceso a la Justicia de la ciudadanía.

En este contexto, en la mayoría de los países de América Latina se han desarrollado una variedad de experiencias innovadoras que han tenido resultados positivos pero que pareciera han sido limitadas al momento de enfrentar problemas de implementación, lo que ha frenado su consolidación como política pública focalizada en brindar acceso a la justicia a los grupos vulnerables. En consecuencia, componen esta línea de trabajo aquellos proyectos, estudios y actividades que se relacionan con todas estas estrategias y mecanismos implementados en la región que tienen por objetivo ampliar el acceso a la justicia.

Thank you.
Note from asker:
Thank you for your response. Maybe it's a matter of my US dialect. When I see "extra-procedural" my mind asks, "Outside of what procedures?" Does extra-procedural refer to outside of the courtroom/litigation?
Here's what I need in your answer: Mecanismos Alternativos al Proceso Judicial -- the Judicial Process! Now it makes sense to me.

out-of-court mediation

"Extra proceso" is synonymous with "extrajudicial" to my mind, meaning outside the judicial system.
Could also be out-of-court conciliation, but mediation seems to be the more favoured term.

I've often seen it referred to in contracts as "alternative dispute resolution" too, that's a lot more common, although it is a broader term that covers mediation, conciliation, arbitration, etc.
