The relevant statutory instruments are:
- S.I. No. 9 of 2018: District Court (Mediation) Rules 2018
- S.I. No. 11 of 2018: Circuit Court Rules (Mediation) 2018
- S.I. No. 12 of 2018: Circuit Court Rules (Family Law: Mediation) 2018
- S.I. No 13 of 2018: Rules of the Superior Courts (Mediation) 2018
It should be noted that the District Court Rules provide a precedent for a form of statutory declaration as to compliance with the solicitor’s obligations under the Mediation Act. The Circuit Court and the Superior Court Rules have no such precedent. It is the view of the ADR Committee that an amended form of the District Court declaration would be recommended.
