Mediation plays a significant role in resolving family conflicts across the European Union (EU), with each EU member state adopting numerous variations on the exact methodology that is being adopted. While there are commonalities across states, there is no harmonized approach specifically tailored to family cases and the EU Mediation Directive (2008/52/EC) does not tackle this issue specifically. On the contrary, the only two places where family mediation is explicitly mentioned are Recital 10 and Recital 21 of the Mediation Directive, which now opens the debate as to whether a new, uniform approach to addressing such conflicts may not be beneficial. The webinar will focus on the need for standardization in the field of family disputes and the specific topics this should be done in order to overcome the challenges experienced today.
