A very interesting, elegant and admirably succinct text

- Professor Neil H Andrews, University of Cambridge, Review of previous edition

Whether you are an academic looking for a scholarly insight into the principles of mediation law in civil practice, a mediator, potential participant in mediation either as an advisor or an individual, or even just someone with an interest in the subject, I unhesitatingly recommend this book.

The book has been well written in a straight forward and logical manner and as a result it is an in-depth and authoritative guide that will be useful to not only practising mediators but also the judiciary, lawyers, academics, students (both under and post graduate) and mediation providers.

- Review of previous edition, Mukesh Basra QDR, The Expert and Dispute Resolver, Summer 2014, Vol 19, No.2

...thought provoking and enjoyable...Handier than anything else presently on the market....more accessible to non-lawyer mediators than The Jackson ADR Handbook. In the words of Carly Simon, "Nobody does it better." Buy this book.

- Stephen Walker, SCMA Advisory Board member, mediation author and full time Mediator, SCMA Newsletter, September 2019

A really good book now in a second edition. Solid information, perceptive analysis and trenchant criticism.

Stephen Walker

...readers will welcome and benefit from the deep knowledge of mediation from the author by investing some time in reading this book.

Dispute Resolution International

Mediation Law and Civil Practice examines the position of mediation within the civil justice system in England and Wales. It explains and challenges current thinking about mediation, identifying ways for the government and judiciary to improve the delivery of justice through greater trust in the process. It traces the evolution of the relationship between the courts and mediation, discussing all the significant judgments relating to mediation over the last 25 years as well as exploring the key concepts at the heart of mediation and all the latest developments. Mediation Law and Civil Practice also challenges the status quo by casting doubt on some decisions and generates alternative thinking around current legal and practice concepts. As well as updating all case law, the second edition also: - discusses the attitudes generated by the Jackson Review and also the Briggs reforms proposed in the Chancery Modernisation Review and his Court Structure Review - discusses AB v CD, in which a mediator has now given evidence in an English court and Global and related cases on varying “whole agreement” clauses - enlarges the discussion of protocols, which have been modified and remain inconsistent in their treatment of ADR - analyses the EU Consumer Directive - sets out the reforms to CPR Part 36 Mediators, mediation providers, lawyers, judges academics and students will all benefit from the expert commentary and in-depth analysis in this book. It is also a useful guide for academics and mediation providers outside of the UK who are seeking to influence the development of mediation in their jurisdictions. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Mediation online service.
