Mediation in Commercial Cases - Prerequisites and Development

U radu ćemo detaljno analizirati postupak mirenja, kao jednog od alternativnih načina rješavanja spora. Argumentirat ćemo koje su prednosti mirenja nad drugim metodama alternativnog rješavanja spora, prednosti i nedostatci u odnosu na parnični postupak, ali naglasak ćemo staviti na mirenje u trgovačkim sporovima. Objasnit ćemo nagli uzlet postupaka mirenja 2006.g. i zašto je došlo do pada broja predmeta na trgovačkim sudovima sve do danas. Rad je podijeljen u tri cjeline. U prvoj ćemo cjelini proći kroz kratki historijat Zakona o mirenju, kako se on mijenjao i kakav zakon imamo danas. Pregledat ćemo postupke mirenja u Common law sustavima, koliko se razlikuju i uvidjeti da ponekad imaju izuzetno zanimljiva rješenja. Analizirat ćemo koje je smjernice dala Direktiva 2008/52/EC, koja je u potpunosti implementirana u naš Zakon o mirenju, koji je stupio na dan ulaska Republike Hrvatske u Europsku uniju. Obradit ćemo i dva izuzetno zanimljiva slučaja, slučaj Alessini i slučaj Halsey, u kojima su sudovi zauzeli potpuno drugačije stavove koji se tiču obveznog i dobrovoljnog mirenja. U drugom dijelu rada proći ćemo detaljno kroz postupak mirenja, što nagodba u postupku mirenja znači za stranke. Također ćemo objasniti problem mirenja u praksi. U zadnjoj cjelini objasnit ćemo probleme između trgovačkih društava, kako unaprijediti svijest o mirenju te provjeriti ima li mirenje budućnost u sadašnjim okolnostima u Republici Hrvatskoj.In the diploma paper we are going to analyze mediation process, as one of the method of alternative dispute resolution. We are going to provide arguments in favor and against mediation. Throughout the paper commercial mediation will be in out focus. We are going to explain the background for rise in number of mediation proceedings we were witnessing in 2006, but also it will be intresting to make an insight into the reasons of an sudden drop in numbers we started to expirience soon after 2006. The paper has 8 chapters. In the first chapter we shall go trough legislative history of the Act of mediation. Afterwards we shall also make an insight in the system of mediation in certain common law legal systems in oreder to examine the differences, and find out what solutions we should take into account when tailoring national normative framework. We are going to analyze Directive 2008/52/EC wich is implemented in our legal system, and is valid when Croatia joined the EU.
