How DRI works
&
​Who we work with

Our mediation processes involve one or more of the following mediation strategies, which are utilised at applicable moments during the mediation session:

• Facilitative
• Therapeutic
• Transformative
• Speciality
• Technical

​

Examples of matters in which the Meditate Now DRI processes are particularly effective are as follows:


1. Disputes ​that fall within the BCCMA jurisdiction –

• Maintenance;
• By-Laws (eg. animals, vehicles, noise);
• Nuisances;
• Lot owner improvements.

2. Disputes where there is no BCCMA jurisdiction

• Caretaker and management rights;
• Contractual matters;
• Neighbour disputes; (eg. dividing fences, trees, nuisances other than s.167 BCCMA);
• Debts other than BC debts (QCAT, BCCM);
• Statutory Obligations (non-BCCMA);
• Common Law breaches; (eg. Defamation, Trespass, damages, economic loss)

Because we are experts in Body Corporate Law, we can provide meaningful facilitation of a dispute resolution outcome that meets the needs of the interests of the parties in a sensitive, practical and holistic manner. 

We work with body corporate committees, caretakers and their legal representatives (as applicable) to reach goals that the parties can move forward in a cost-effective, meaningful and positive way.

The flowchart below illustrates points at which DRI processes can be commenced. The flowchart also maps the DRI process once initiated by the parties.
