Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Delroy Chuck, says the Mediation Act is expected to become operationalised during the first week of 2027. He made the announcement during the first Mediation Stakeholder Engagement Session held on Friday at the AC Hotel Kingston. Passed in the Senate on October 23, the Mediation Act, 2026, provides for the establishment of a comprehensive framework to govern the conduct of mediation in Jamaica, as well as the registration, licensing and regulation of mediators.
