- The parties wasted 3 years on this dispute.
- The claimants spent £75,000 on legal fees prior to the mediation. The defendants spent £61,000.
- Had they mediated in the first place, they would have saved 3 years and £136,000!
- The mediation took 1 day, 11 hours compared to the 3 years this building dispute had already gone on.
- The mediation cost each party a fraction, of what they had already spent on legal fees. Never mind the thousands they would have had to spend had they continued with Court action.
