DIS Mediation Rules (2010)
2.1 The party wishing to initiate the mediation proceedings (applicant) shall send a written request to the other party (opponent). The request shall contain the names and contact details of the parties and their counsel, if available. It shall further contain a short summary of the conflict, the facts and circumstances which gave rise to the conflict, the asserted claims and, if possible, the amount in dispute. Multiple applicants within the meaning of sentences 1 and 2 shall jointly send the request.
2.2 If the request for initiation of the mediation proceedings provides that more than one other party shall be involved in the proceedings, the request shall be sent to each of these parties.
2.3 The request shall be submitted in a number of copies at least sufficient to provide one copy for each mediator and the DIS. If the copies are not submitted in the requisite number, the DIS Main Secretariat requests the applicant to make a corresponding supplementation and sets a time-limit for compliance. Upon filing the request the applicant shall pay to the DIS the procedural fee in accordance with the schedule of costs (appendix to section 11 subsection 5) in force on the date of receipt of the request by the DIS Main Secretariat. The DIS Main Secretariat invoices the applicant for the DIS procedural fee and, if payment has not already been made, sets a time-limit for payment.
2.4 Mediation proceedings commence upon receipt of the copy of the request by the DIS Main Secretariat (section 2 subsection 3), provided that within the time-limit set by the DIS, which may be subject to reasonable extension, the DIS has received the number of required copies of the request pursuant to subsection 3 and the DIS procedural fee pursuant to subsection 3 has been paid. The DIS informs the parties about commencement of the proceedings without undue delay.
