The Mediation application can be made as of the date of the dispute. The parties may go to Mediation before applying to the court or they may try their chance to apply to the Mediation during the court proceedings with the time they will be granted from the court.
Mediation is a voluntary process. However, in the disputes of the Labor Law, legal law drafts have been drafted regarding the obligation to apply to the Mediator before going to court and they are waiting for the enactment.
