9 New Family Court Mediators Appointed To Help Resolve Family Disputes
Minister for Justice, Research and Innovation Clifton Grima has appointed 9 additional professionals to Malta’s list of court-appointed mediators, who will help handle family-related cases before the Family Court.
The new appointments aim to strengthen mediation services, improve efficiency and reduce waiting times for families going through legal proceedings.
During the presentation of their warrants, Minister Grima highlighted the importance of mediation in encouraging dialogue between parties and finding solutions that prioritise family well-being, particularly the interests of children.
He said the appointments form part of the Government’s wider efforts to improve the Family Court, following the introduction of new family court regulations and amendments to existing legislation earlier this month.
Grima also called on lawyers, social workers and other professionals working in family law to continue promoting mediation as an effective way of resolving family disputes.
He added that increasing the number of mediators would help the courts manage cases more efficiently and ensure proceedings take place within legally established timeframes.
