In the past couple of decades, Ireland and India, both common law countries, have made attempts to strengthen the mediation regime in their respective countries, however, Ireland has experienced greater growth, both in terms of law and practice. Through this article, the authors attempt to study the developments in the legal regime on mediation in both countries and propose the adoption of certain features of the Irish model into the Indian legal system for greater regulation of mediation practices. The authors explore the various features of the Irish regime and the suitability of adopting the same into the Indian system. The authors address a wide range of issues relating to building a robust regulatory framework in India, such as the scope of enacting a legislation, providing better enforcement mechanisms and enhancing the quality of mediators.
