Mediation can be applied to many different types of dispute: legal, commercial, community, employment and more.
The disagreements are often about perceptions of fairness, a difference in expectations or a balance of personal or commercial rights.
Perhaps someone expected something to happen and it didn’t happen. Or maybe it didn’t happen to the standard they expected. Such expectations could be around performance of a task, payment of money, or the supply of a product or service. Or something unexpected may have happened, so someone feels they should be compensated.
That’s just a few general examples, but there are very many more disagreements that can benefit from mediation.
