Bradley, Martin Harry and Bradley, Rosemary Diane -v- Heslin, Peter Greenwood and Heslin, Marianne - Chancery Division (Liverpool) - Mr Justice Norris, Vice-chancellor of The County Palatine of Lancaster - [2014] EWHC 3267 (Ch)

Encouragement to mediate - Mr Justice Norris gave very strong indications (not orders) that in a neighbour dispute such as this one about gates, a court could not order mediation but could not be criticised for imposing a 2 month stay for mediation and directing that the parties must take all reasonable steps to conduct that mediation (whatever the parties might say about their willingness to engage in the process).
