European Commission
Mediation Directive (Cross-Border Mediation)
Adopted by the European Parliament on 23 April 2008. Once the
Directive has entered into force, it will have to be transposed
into the national laws of the Member States including the UK. The transposition
period for the Directive is 36 months after the date of
adoption (ie by 21 May 2011), with the exception of the provision concerning
information on competent courts and authorities, where Member
States will have to comply within 30 months of adoption of the
Directive. Denmark has opted out.
