Hey Sandeep,

Pre-litigation is the process of settling cases before the lawsuit is filed and the court proceedings begin. Mediation is also included in the pre-litigation process, which saves both parties time and money.

Mediation is an alternative method of dispute resolution that does not require going to court. It is an organized, voluntary, and participatory negotiating process in which a neutral third party employs specialized communication and negotiation skills to help the parties in attaining their stated objectives. As a party-centred procedure, it focuses on the interests, needs, and rights of the parties.

The following are the main steps in Mediation 

THE PRIMARY STEPS IN MEDIATION

  • Commencement of the Mediation Agreement: Mediation Request
  • The Mediator's Appointment
  • Contacts Between the Mediator and the Parties at the Beginning
    • setting up the first meeting
    • agreeing on any preliminary document exchange
  • First and Subsequent Meetings
    • agreeing the process's ground rules
    • gathering data and identifying problems
    • examining the parties' interests
    • developing settlement alternatives
    • evaluating options
  • Concluding

I hope this clarifies your query. 

Regards,

Jyotika Sharma
