Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone People’s Court--Guide for mediation

As the saying goes, hatred between both parties in a lawsuit may last ten years, but mediation can solve all concerns. Mediation is an effective means for solving disputes in civil and commercial cases. The People’s Court advocates and encourages parties concerned to solve disputes through mediation on the basis of voluntariness and legitimacy, so as to enable mediation under the law and bury the hatchet. If a case could be successfully mediated, the disputes could be solved, there will be no time wasted, and half of the court acceptance fee could be saved so as to release you from the lawsuit fatigue.
