There is an alternative to traditional criminal court proceedings known as justice mediation, which is a form of alternative conflict resolution.
It is often under utilised and it involves persuading the Prosecution that it is in everybody’s interest (particularly the victim) to have the matter resolved in this way. Alternative dispute resolution and particularly Justice Mediation is designed as a means to resolve disputes between parties with a view to satisfying all parties in the dispute. It is particularly effective for matters involving personal complainants where there is an underlying legitimate dispute between the parties.
For instance, Fisher Dore Lawyers were able to actively negotiate a serious charge of Fraud relating to allegations of the sale of Cryptocurrency, involving complicated Federal Legislation involving anti-money laundering legislation. During the course of the negotiations, we were able to have the matter resolved by way of Justice Mediation, thereby resolving the matter without the further criminal prosecution.
The benefits to our client was that the matter was able to be resolved without the need for expensive litigation and it also resulted in there not being any formal convictions or anything of that nature imposed upon the client.
