Integrating mediation for small claims
We’re introducing mediation as an integral part of the small claims process. Mediation is often a quicker, cheaper way for parties to resolve their dispute without the need to pay a hearing fee. 
For new civil court claims filed from Monday 22 May 2024, attending a mediation session will become a required step in resolving a money dispute under £10,000.
Parties will need to attend an appointment to try and resolve their case ahead of having a court hearing.
