The Mediation (Civil and Commercial Disputes) Act, No. 13 of 2026, certified on June 30, 2026, establishes a framework for mediating civil and commercial disputes in Sri Lanka, repealing the previous Commercial Mediation Center Act. It outlines the conditions under which disputes can be mediated, the role of mediation agreements, and the process for court referrals to mediation. The Act aims to streamline dispute resolution while excluding certain disputes that require court intervention.
