The effectiveness of judicial mediation in administrative disputes

Shaimaa Lotfi Abdullah .

Abstract

This research examines and analyzes the effectiveness of judicial mediation in resolving administrative disputes, particularly in light of the clear gap and noticeable divergence in assessing its actual performance in this field. Although judicial mediation has been adopted as an alternative mechanism for dispute resolution, it continues to face numerous challenges and obstacles that may weaken its efficiency and limit its ability to achieve its intended objectives. These impediments sometimes stem from the inherent nature of administrative disputes themselves, which are often complex and closely intertwined with considerations of public interest. In other instances, they arise from the attitudes of the disputing parties and their lack of cooperation, or from shortcomings on the part of the judicial mediator in properly supervising procedures and managing the process with competence, neutrality, and professionalism. The growing interest in judicial mediation reflects a broader global trend toward modernizing justice systems and strengthening dispute resolution mechanisms through more flexible and effective approaches. Many countries have embraced this method as a supportive and complementary tool to the judiciary, contributing to the reduction of court congestion and expediting the settlement of cases. Mediation is also characterized by its comparatively lower financial costs when measured against court fees, litigation expenses, and attorneys’ charges.
