Referral to the Just & Fair mediation is consensual. A Just & Fair mediation can only take place if both parties have agreed to such procedure by means of a Just & Fair mediation clause in the relevant contract, or by means of a Just & Fair mediation submission agreement.
In the absence of a mediation agreement between the parties, a party that wishes to propose submitting a dispute to mediation may submit a unilateral Request for the Just & Fair Mediation in writing to the Just & Fair Mediation Centre and to the other party. The Just & Fair Mediation Centre may assist the parties in considering the Request for Mediation.
A Just & Fair mediation is commenced by a party submitting a Request for Mediation in writing to the Just & Fair Mediation Centre.

- The names and full communication details of the parties and their representatives
