For civil disputes in the Ontario Small Claims Court and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, this course examines the role of mediation and pre-trials in settling litigated disputes. In particular, the requirements of mandatory mediation in the Superior Court of Justice are explored from the perspective of the mediator, and the parties and their representatives, and how to maximize the results from such settlement process. The use of case management in the court process is addressed in so far as it impacts on the time and cost of litigating, and the role of the case conference, settlement conference, and trial management conference in resolving issues and advancing the court proceeding. In the Ontario Small Claims Court, the role of mediators, court referees and court agents are analyzed in enhancing pre-trial outcomes and achieving settlements.
