Collective mediation

A Law creating class actions in France was adopted on March 17, 2014. This new procedure enables the 15 national and certified non-profit consumer charities to represent all consumers who have a similar claim on the same matter.

It is worthwhile to note that the Consumption Code (Articles L423-15 and 16) enables the court, if it deems appropriate, to propose a mediation to resolve a conflict between an claimant non-profit consumer charity and a defendant company at anytime during the proceedings.

The collective mediation can be initiated:

during judicial proceedings, or
spontaneously before filing any claim in court

It must be integrated into the company conflict management policies. It has many advantages: efficiency, speed, inexpensive and much more !
