Civil Mediation Council

Civil Mediation Council

The Civil Mediation Council (CMC) was established in the UK in 2003 under the chairmanship of Lord Justice Sir Brian Neill to be the neutral and independent body to represent and to promote civil and commercial mediation as alternatives to litigation and thereby to further law reform and access to justice for the general public[1]. It followed an initiative by mediator and barrister Jonathan Dingle to build on unsuccessful attempts to provide a single unified voice for civil and commercial mediation in the United Kingdom.

It is the recognised and established body for civil and commercial mediation in England and Wales, and has strong links throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. It hasmore than 400 members, an accreditation scheme for mediation providers, and organised major conferences and forums. The CMC is the first point of contact for the Government, judiciary and industry on civil mediation issues.

On 11 December 2007, the CMC elected Lord Gordon Slynn of Hadley, the international jurist, as its President and Lord Justice Sir Henry Brooke, a former Vice President of the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, as its Chairman.
