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.
