Mediation of Preparation Authority in investment disputes According to Egyptian Law No. 146 of 2019

Abstract

Various legal systems are moving towards the legislative expansion of alternative dispute settlement mechanisms away from the procedural templates that characterize the state’s judiciary, and among these mechanisms is the mechanism of arbitration, conciliation, conciliation, and mediation, for example what the French legislator has done, as judicial mediation was organized according to Law No. 125 of 1995 issued in February 8, 1995, and Executive Decree No. 952 of 1996 issued on July 22, 1996, which specified the conditions necessary for the enforcement of judicial mediation. The French legislator also decided to include this law among the articles of the Civil Procedure Code, according to Articles 131-1 to 131-15

Article 8/1 of Law No. 146 of 2019 amending some provisions of the Economic Courts Law No. 120 of 2008 stipulating that “a body called the Preparation and Mediation Authority referred to in this law shall be established in every economic court and shall undertake preparation and mediation in the cases that concern this court.” This text assigned the Preparation Authority the task of preparation and mediation alongside the task of making reconciliation efforts between the opponents, which was stipulated in Article 8 before the legislative amendment according to Law No. 146 of 2019.
