Abstract

This report outlines the findings of a research project that was co-funded by the Resolution Institute as part of Victoria University’s 2018/19 Summer Scholarship programme. It forms part of the New Zealand Commercial Mediation Study (NZCMS).

This report aims to provide insight into the practice of commercial mediation in New Zealand and builds on the previous studies: the first examining the nature of private commercial mediation in New Zealand (as this does also), the second examining the perspectives of commercial lawyers, the ‘gatekeepers’ of mediation, and the third examining the perspectives of ‘users’ of commercial mediation (more specifically in the insurance sector).

The longitudinal nature of this research allows readers to see the differences in the private mediation market from early 2015 to early 2019. Investigation into the private mediation market is necessary for its growth and development as a form of alternative dispute resolution.

Keywords: Mediation, Commercial, New Zealand
