Arbitration is an agreement between the parties of the contract, whether in the basic contract or a subsequent agreement, including the presentation of the conflict that may arise in the implementation of a specific contract to an arbitrator or more arbitrators, as it may be agreed to arbitration in a particular dispute under special conditions

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and aims to assist two or more disputants in reaching an agreement. Whether an agreement results or not, and whether the content of that agreement, the parties themselves determine, rather than accepting something imposed by a third party. Mediation is routinely ordered by the Court and usually as a precondition to holding the trial. If that is one of the options in your case, your lawyer will discuss it with you.

Appeal means review by the Court of Appeal to the legal issues arising from decisions taken by the trial judge of the first instance. The appeal is not a new trial. The Court of Appeals shall consider whether the first court properly ruled on the legal case or not. The appeal is a mean of ordinary challenge against judgments whereby the subject of the case is reviewed pursuant to the principle of litigation in order to correct the mistakes in the judgments issued by the court of the first instance.

A power of attorney is a legal document giving one person (the agent or attorney) the power to act for another person (the principal). The agent can have broad legal authority or limited authority to make legal decisions for example about the principal’s property, finances, business or medical care. A power of attorney can cover a wide scope of matters depending on the particular person’s requirements. In real estate matters for example, a power of attorney can be used when one or both parties are unavailable and a party is needed to represent the other to finalise a transaction on their behalf.
