Government Establishes Mediation Council of India to Regulate Dispute Resolution
The Indian government has established the Mediation Council of India (MCI) under the Mediation Act, 2023, following a parliamentary committee's recommendation. The council will regulate and promote institutional dispute resolution, including recognizing mediation service providers and training institutes. Delays in setting up the MCI were attributed to human resource shortages and challenges in appointing suitable candidates. The council's formation is seen as essential for fully implementing the Act and advancing arbitration and mediation as alternatives to court litigation.
