Compulsory and Arbitrary Mediation in Labor Law
Mediation, one of the alternative dispute resolutions methods, is regulated by Mediation in Legal Disputes Law No. 6325 (In Turkish.), and a legal basis has been prepared for legal disputes. Mediation is the method used by the parties for a private law dispute before or after filing a lawsuit under the arbitration of an impartial third party (mediator) who has received specialized training, chosen by their own free will.
There are two types of meditation in Turkish Law; "compulsory mediation" and "arbitrary mediation."
Compulsory Mediation: In Turkish Law, the obligation to apply to a mediator before filing a lawsuit for some disputes is regulated by the legislator.Compulsory mediation is a cause of action for these disputes. In other words, in disputes in which mediation is compulsory, lawsuits filed without a mediator are rejected due to the absence of a litigation requirement.
Arbitrary Mediation: In arbitrary mediation, although the parties do not have to apply to a mediator, they prefer to apply to a mediator instead of filing a lawsuit to resolve the dispute. The parties can apply to an arbitrary mediation regarding any private law dispute.
