    Nothing provided shows anything different to what I have said.

    One Swallow does not a summer make.

    How could a TV production team enforce a ruling by someone who isn't a judge, made in a studio, not a legal court?

    Still, it makes great TV :D

    It's a form of Alternate Dispute Resolution, and courts rarely go against such decisions, except in cases where the law clearly wasn't followed.


    The enforcement would be through the court, but the case would be that both parties agreed for a neutral adjudicator to decide

    they might be , but its a TV court not a court of law so anything he `decides` can be ignored in any event
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Not really.


    Have you not heard of the ADR process. It's encouraged to keep the courts time available.


    Whilst the decision is not 'binding', it is indicative. That is to say, if it went to court, the judge would likely come up with the same solution.


    The court would also be mighty annoyed that the ADR process wasn't followed and probably award costs to the winning party.

    Yes real cases.


    it's for people who cant pay for mediation. That's why it's often relatively small amounts.

    What are you talking about?

    If its small amounts in the real world , it goes through small claims , which in turn offers free mediation

    As far as I am aware mediation is income based, rather than based on the amount claimed.


    I stand corrected, just checked.

    - Only used mediation in a private setting - where legal aid was income based.
