Arbitration is a kind of “private trial” conducted before one or more individuals, based on an agreement between the parties. It should be noted that the arbitrator is not always someone who is qualified as a judge or even as a lawyer. For example, in certain commercial sectors, it is customary to conduct arbitration before an expert in the relevant field. Generally, arbitration hearings are not public, and only the parties involved are exposed to them.<\/p>\n

In certain lawsuits, the parties are sent to an internal mediation meeting on behalf of the court before their case is heard. This mediation meeting is called a “pre-mediation meeting” (abbreviated as \u05de\u05d4\u05d5\u05f4\u05ea or MAHUT<\/span> in Hebrew, which stands for Information, Familiarization, and Coordination). Currently, pre-meiating meetings are conducted experimentally in certain magistrates’ courts in central Israel and in specific types of civil claims. They are also common in proceedings before the Family Court.<\/p>\n

Pre-meidation meetings are conducted by a mediator and are free of charge. Their purpose is to examine the possibility of continuing the discussion through mediation between the parties. If the parties agree to mediation, it will be conducted by the same mediator, but a fee will be charged to both parties. If not, the case will continue to be handled by the court.<\/p>\n
