Community Mediation Centre CMC mainly focuses on community disputes and not on commercial ones.

Community disputes are essentially social in character and those include neighborhood and family disputes excluding family violence, disagreements with friends,conflict between strangers, various sorts of squabbles and so on.CMC acts as a mediator who helps the two opponent parties to get settled either through joint meetings of both parties or through private one- on- one session.

Just like other court cases each side is given a chance to put up their points and during joint sessions the mediator asks questions to clarify doubts and to gather more information on the issue. Parties can even meet the mediator privately in separate sessions called caucuses to reveal their private view points which they are not ready to disclose before their opponents. Generally this Alternative Dispute Resolution in Singapore tries to solve the problem within an hour but if the case is too complicated then, it might take even six hours.
