Comparison with legal costs
On average a legal advice session is £250 per hour. A half day contested hearing in court will add over £1,000 to each person’s legal fees.
In 2012, the National Audit Office reported that the average cost per client for mediation was £675 compared to £2,823 for cases going to court.
The report states that ‘mediated cases are quicker to resolve, taking on average 110 days, compared with 435 days for non-mediated cases‘.
