Mediation

Michael believes that there are many disputes that are ripe for mediation and as a qualified mediator he is able to undertake work as a mediator for a broad range of property, commercial and civil matters. He has also appeared as an advocate at mediation.

Following the changes to the Civil Procedural Rules, coming in to force on the auspicious date of the 1st October (Michael’s birthday) this year, the Court will now promote the use of alternative dispute resolution in response to the decision of the Court of Appeal in Churchill v. Merthyr Tydfil CBC [2023] EWCA Civ 1416. The Court will further actively encourage mediation.

As a Member of Parliament, Michael would often see the benefit of mediation in solving a range of disputes; from wider community disputes, to neighbour or more commercial matters.

Michael has taken part in legal projects in both Sierra Leone and Rwanda; and is part of a team leading mediation training sessions in South Africa.

Further to his work as a constituency Member of Parliament, working with the NFU and the local farming community during his time as MP in Dorset, Michael is developing a specialism in agricultural work. Much of this work is particularly suitable for mediation.

Michael was trained by and is a Member of the Society of Mediators and is a Civil Mediation Council Registered Mediator.
