The main objective of this paper is to examine the concept of compulsory mediation and to assess the effectiveness of the regulation of compulsory mediation in Lithuania. The paper briefly discusses the regulation of compulsory mediation and the problems that have emerged, as well as the limitation of the principle of voluntariness and the individual's right to access to court. |
