MANDATORY INITIAL MEDIATION SESSION (MIMS)

Article 6 of Law 4640/2019 concerning mediation in civil and commercial cases, gives one the possibility to become fully aware about the institution of mediation. When a case is subject to MIMS, the parties are informed by the mediator about the mediation process, the basic principles governing it as well as the role of the participating parties. The aim of the MIMS is to inform the parties of the mediation process, without discussing the merits of the case. After that, the parties can decide whether they wish to enter in a Mediation Session, where they will attempt to solve their dispute amicably.
