To initiate the mediation a party must give notice in writing (ADR notice) to the other party to the dispute, referring the dispute to mediation. A copy of the referral should be sent to CEDR.

If there is any point on the logistical arrangements of the mediation, other than nomination of the mediator, upon which the parties cannot agree within 14 working days from the date of the ADR Notice, where appropriate, in conjunction with the mediator, CEDR will be requested to decide that point for the parties having consulted with them.

Unless otherwise agreed, the mediation will start not later than 28 working days after the date of the ADR notice. No party may commence any court proceedings in relation to any dispute arising out of these terms until it has attempted to settle the dispute by mediation and either the mediation has terminated or the other party has failed to participate in the mediation, provided that the right to issue proceedings is not prejudiced by a delay.
