Mediation is one of the best ways to reduce the workload of courts. At the Senate plenary session, the Minister of Justice Ruslanbek Davletov answered the senator’s question about the mechanism for implementation of exercising the powers of notary staff to perform the functions of a mediator. 

“Mediation is an area that needs to be developed. Courts have a huge workload and we need to reduce this workload. Transferring some of the work to the Institute of Mediation is one of the best ways to solve this issue,” the Justice Minister said. 

He also spoke about the mechanism of the Institute of Mediation.

“Mediation has its own rules. It takes actions to reconcile both parties and achieves the agreement. After the mediation agreement is signed by the parties, the institution will notarize it. It will be binding on both sides,” Kun.uz correspondent quotes Ruslanbek Davletov as saying. 

Reportedly, senators approved the law on improving the notary system.
