The appeal procedure is set forth in the Regulations on the Organization and Functioning of the Appeals Commission, which were developed in accordance with the entry into force of the Law on Mediation and the Status of Mediators.
As a reminder, the law establishes the basic principles of mediation and regulates the procedures for entering the profession of mediator, the status of mediators, and the methods for organizing their activities and self-governance. It does not apply to disputes in the tax, customs, or administrative spheres, nor does it apply to the state’s liability for the actions or omissions of public authorities.
The Appeals Commission consists of three members appointed by the Ministry of Justice and two members appointed by the Union of Mediators. They are required to ensure the confidentiality of information and documents and not to disclose the content of appeals, written work, audio recordings of oral exams, or other materials related to the qualification exam.
The Commission’s decisions are published on the Union of Mediators’ website within 24 hours of their adoption.
The aforementioned appeals regulations, as well as the Regulations on the Organization and Functioning of the Commission for the Licensing of the Mediator Profession—which were also developed in accordance with the new law—will take effect on September 12 of this together with the Law on Mediation and the Status of Mediators.
