    What is the typical timeframe for reaching an amicable settlement?

    The Mediation and Conciliation Directorate is required to seek an amicable settlement within a period not exceeding fifteen (15) days from the date the parties appear before it. However, the supervising judge has the authority to extend this period for a similar duration if necessary. This strict timeline is designed to uphold the Centre's objective of providing an expeditious process. If the parties cannot reach an agreement within this window, the dispute is typically referred to the First Instance Division for a formal hearing.
