Conciliation

 

Conciliation

Meaning

Conciliation is a process similar to mediation as parties out of their own free will appoint a neutral third party to resolve their disputes. The key difference between mediation and conciliation lies in the role of the neutral third party. A mediator merely performs a facilitative role and provides platform for the parties to reach a mutually agreeable solution. The role of a conciliator goes beyond that of a mediator. [1]

A conciliator may be interventionist in the sense that he/she may suggest potential solutions to the parties, in-order to resolve their claims and disputes. [1]

The Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 governs the process of conciliation.
