Abstract
The purpose of this article is to theorize through mediation, its essence and significance in modern conditions, to analyze the legal regulation of the procedure under Russian law, its individual improvements and achievements over the 15-year period since the adoption of the Federal Law of July 27, 2010 № 193-FZ “On alternative dispute resolution procedure with the participation of a mediator (mediation procedure)”.
The methodological basis consists of a theoretical method for a deeper study of existing theories in order to develop new concepts and ideas, a structural legal method for clarifying the norms of law; a systematic analysis, a formal logical and a method for studying and generalizing judicial practice to develop practical recommendations for improving the mediation procedure.
The author analyzes the attempts of the legislator to change the regulatory framework to improve and develop not only the mediation procedure, but other legal methods of pre-trial dispute resolution, as well as research on the causes of conflicts and disagreements in order to effectively prevent them. The colossal work on popularization and improvement of the mediation procedure in conditions of significant workload of Russian courts was noted, as well as the special importance for scientific understanding of the problems of legal regulation of the mediation procedure of mediation centers created in Russia, dissertation research by many reputable Russian scientists, regularly held scientific and scientific-practical events of various levels (round tables, sessions, forums and conferences). The ambiguity of the formulation of the definition of mediation is analyzed. The necessity of developing a federal register of mediators is argued. The issue of the use of digital technologies for online mediation and related possible risks and solutions are considered.
The official data of judicial practice are presented, indicating an insignificant number of judicial reconciliations (mediation) in civil proceedings.
In order to improve the institution of mediation, the coordinated and effective application of norms and meditative practices that would allow for the harmonious regulation of the mediation procedure, a number of proposals are given that can be taken into account by the legislator.
