The global acceptance of ADR mechanisms, the Turkish accession process to EU as well as the necessity to unify the laws in accordance with the EU’s ADR legislative framework, the duration of judicial proceedings, and the workload of courts led Turkish Regulators to enact the Code on Mediation in Legal Disputes “Number 6325” (“Mediation Code”) on June 22, 2012.
