Organization and membership

The mediation incentive scheme is overseen by a commission comprising two mediators appointed by the mediation Commission, two lawyers elected by the lawyers entered in the cantonal register, three magistrates appointed by the Commission de gestion of the Judiciary power and the Secretary General of the Judiciary power, who chairs the Commission.

The steering Commission is made up of:

  • Mr. Patrick BECKER, Secretary General of the Judiciary power, president of the commission
  • Mr. Yves BERTOSSA, Chief public prosecutor
  • Mrs. Emmanuelle IMSAND, judge at the Tribunal civil

  • Mrs. Sandrine TORNARE, sworn mediator
  • Mr. Philippe BAVAREL, sworn mediator
  • Me Diane BROTO, lawyer

The commission monitors the operation of the mediation incentive scheme and the Office, identifying any difficulties encountered. Where necessary, it proposes corrective measures, including information, awareness-raising and training for those involved in dispute resolution.

It monitors the development of indicators and statistics, as well as the allocation of financial resources.

It ensures that the system and tools put in place to propose the names of sworn mediators to people in conflict, operate fairly and transparently.

It draws up an annual report on its activities (cf. section Literature), which is submitted to the Cantonal parliament and to the Commission de gestion of the Judiciary power.

The commission is also responsible for selecting the sworn mediators who run the mediation Office.

Bureau de la médiation

La médiation, mode de règlement amiable des litiges rapide, confidentiel et financé par le Pouvoir judiciaire, permet aux parties, avec l'aide de la médiatrice ou du médiateur, de trouver elles-mêmes une solution globale et durable à leur différend. Pour ce faire, le bureau de la médiation informe le public en général, renseigne les personnes en conflit qui viennent le consulter, facilite l'initialisation de la médiation et autorise son financement. Le bureau peut être consulté aussi bien lorsqu'une procédure judiciaire est déjà pendante ou, meilleur cas de figure encore, avant l'ouverture d'une telle procédure.

Déroulement d'une médiation

La médiation est un processus de résolution des conflits par lequel une médiatrice ou un médiateur, qui est un tiers neutre, impartial et indépendant, facilite la communication entre les protagonistes et les aide à trouver par eux-mêmes une solution équitable et durable aux conflits qui les opposent.
