Abstract
The concept and meaning of good faith in mediation together with an articulation of what actions are required to comply with a good faith obligation or to support good faith negotiation, can be best described as an evolving “work in progress” in Australia. Compared with a decade ago however, good faith is a more settled and certain concept, and is increasingly being seen and applied as importing a standard of behaviour relevant to a range of participants in mediation processes that include disputants, lawyers, ADR practitioners, experts and even support people.
