Helpful information about mediation proceedings has also been posted on the website of the Legnica prosecutor’s office: www.legnica.po.gov.pl.

Mediation is a method of resolving conflicts that involves the parties communicating in the presence of a neutral third party. Mediation is an attempt to reach an amicable solution to a criminal conflict that satisfies both parties, through voluntary negotiations conducted with the participation of a mediator. A case may be referred to mediation only at the initiative of, or with the consent of, the injured party and the suspect. The parties to criminal proceedings must therefore consciously and voluntarily consent to participate in mediation.
