This relevant case report explains the principal issues, benefits, and concerns in holding a mediation using “Mediator Affair”, the online platform, including various practical, technical, and strategic considerations.

The significance of diagnosis of the case follows by analytical study and assessment of the interests are well coordinated and managed by the online platform “Mediator Affair” along with the skills of expert mediators.

The case is absolutely a business to be dissected, analysed and the interests of the stubborn and reasonable members to be evaluated and considered to an extent where an outcome which never injure the members’ emotions and sentiments or attitudes. The sensational issue being taken in such manner so as to build the confidence among the members or the parties. Further the case has to be decided in accordance with the Sharia, Law of inheritance as envisaged in Holy Quran.

Again to reiterate, this is supposed to be the most challenging case accepted by the Mediators of AMA, working under the Centre for Settlement Support and further the texture of the case attained its significance so far as MEDIATOR AFFAIR managed it.

The inheritance issue encountered by a joint Muslim family consisting of five brothers and two sisters reflects an emotional and sensitive dispute. Sisters have relinquished their share for the betterment of their brothers for their betterment shows their noble gesture. The brothers took the baton of the business inherited from their father and within a span of 25 to 30 years they built an empire. They got textiles business as well as hotel business. The partition was delayed even after their mother’s demise. When the elder brother reached the age of 65, prior to his youngest brother’s death the partition talks began and it reached its zenith after the demise of the above mentioned elder brother.

The dispute among the successors took its original shape and a resolution was suggested by a religious leader of their community. But it was futile so far as the most of the successors did not agree with those suggestions. Then the task to settle the case being assigned to CSS to be tried through the online platform MEDIATOR AFFAIR (www.odrsupport.com) 

The Mediation process witnessed a scene of high voltage drama and Mediators (Mediator and Co-Mediator) jointly could hardly work on a solution that would please everybody. But they understood that whatever they have extracted from these members in the form of interests are the underlying factors upon which a solution could be worked out.

The procedural options designed in the online platform “Mediator Affair”, truly supported the Mediators and the parties in resolving the emotive episodes in a comfortable and convincing manner. The obstinacy of certain members could have made the situation worse for mediators had the online platform not extending facilitations to ease the tensions and extract the interests of them rather than their positions.

The deliberations in the process and procedural options generated by the ‘Mediator Affair’ encouraged the Mediators to come forward with more and more suggestions that could facilitate the parties to generate different options and most favourable and practical options were taken into account and on the basis of those, finally an agreement was mooted jointly by them in the presence of the Mediators.

The beauty of the outcome of this mediation lies with the respective parties’ (so far as they are supposed to be the decision taking parties because of the application of  scientific mediation) attitude to put off the partition talks till their business institutions are all in tact to realise income. (So far their Hotel Business is in a dormant stage not at all in a position to yield income at the time of this mediation).
