How to find a mediator in Malta
The Malta Mediation Centre provides parties with a list of mediators duly accredited by the Centre. Whether in the case of voluntary mediation or a mediation case referred to the Centre by the court or by law, a mediator is selected by the disputing parties from the list of accredited mediators, provided that the person chosen is acceptable to all of them. If the parties do not agree upon a mediator who is acceptable to them all, the Centre will appoint as mediator the person whose name is next on the list of approved mediators.
In family mediation, parties may select, by mutual consent, a mediator of their choice from a list of persons appointed by the Minister for Justice for that purpose (in which case the parties bear the costs of mediation themselves) or, alternatively, the Court assigns a mediator, on a rota basis, from the list of persons appointed by the Minister for Justice to act as court-appointed mediators (in which case the fees due to the mediators are paid by the Registrar of the Civil Courts and Tribunals).
No electronic register currently exists. However, if you would like more information, you can consult the relevant page of the Centre’s website or contact the Centre via the Registrar at the Malta Mediation Centre, 158 Triq il-Merkanti, Valletta, VLT 1176.
