Med/Arb and Arb/Med
Malette ADR | RED offers mediation-arbitration and arbitration-mediation (Med/Arb and Arb/Med) services, consisting of a hybrid process in which a binding decision is rendered if the parties do not successfully mediate their matter.
Med/Arb
In a Med/Arb the process begins with Malette ADR | RED acting in the role of a mediator. If the mediation does not result in a resolution, Malette ADR | RED becomes an arbitrator and renders a binding decision.
Arb/Med
In an Arb/Med the parties present Malette ADR | RED their cases. Malette ADR | RED acts as an arbitrator and prepares a decision. The decision, however, is not immediately shared with the parties. Once a decision is prepared, Malette ADR | RED steps into the role of a mediator and attempts to facilitate a resolution. In the case of a resolution, the decision made in the arbitration is destroyed. Where no resolution is achieved, the decision made in the arbitration is released and binding on the parties.
