Abstract

Mediation, a mode of dispute resolution, enables parties to reach a settlementthey often voluntarily abide by. However, parties occasionally fail to recognizeand enforce the mediated settlement agreements. Consecutively, the dearth of an international cross-border framework to enforce the mediated settlement agreement has been levelled as the primary criticism. In the course of this paper, the author seeks to present a comparative analysis of the Mediation framework in Singapore and India. Firstly, the authors dissect the acclaimed Singapore Mediation Convention in light of cross-border disputes. Secondly, the paper analyses the key provisions of Singapore’s Mediation Actof 2017. Further, it strives to present a bird’s eye analysis of key provisions of India's newly implemented Mediation Act of 2023. Lastly, the authors present a comparative analysis of the Singapore Mediation Convention and the New York Convention in order to analyzethe similarities, inconsistencies and the scope of seamless enforcement.
