Family Mediation
Bermuda Family Arbitration Procedural Rules 2019
Arbitration and mediation are both readily available options in family disputes over financial or ancillary issues.
Arbitration can offer the following advantages:
- Speed - you get a decision much more quickly in arbitration than by going to court.
- Choice of arbitrator - you choose the independent expert best suited to your situation and pocket.
- Choice of issues - you choose what you want the arbitrator to rule on.
- Continuity - the same arbitrator deals with all steps in your case from start to finish.
- Flexibility and control of procedure.
- Confidentiality - there is no possibility of media reporting.
- Potential cost savings - although you pay for the arbitrator, the ability to limit the issues, adapt the process and set a decision more quickly tends to reduce costs.
