Mediation hearings
Mediation hearings are a separate hearing type in NyayX, designed for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) sessions that happen outside the court building — at mediation centers, law offices, or online.
How mediation hearings differ
| Feature | Regular hearing | Mediation hearing |
|---|---|---|
| Venue | Court room | Mediation center / office |
| Purpose options | Arguments, Evidence, Judgment, etc. | Mediation session, Pre-mediation, Settlement |
| Outcome options | Adjourned, Disposed, Judgment reserved | Settled, Not settled, Adjourned, Withdrawn |
| Calendar color | Court color (from court colors) | Teal (fixed) |
Adding a mediation hearing
From the Hearings page or a case’s Hearings tab, click Add Hearing.
In the Type field, select Mediation. The form adjusts to show mediation-specific Purpose and Outcome options.
Enter the date, mediator name (optional), venue, and purpose. Click Save. The mediation session appears on the Calendar in teal.
Recording a mediation date from Court Mode
When you are in court and recording an NDOH, you can add a mediation session in the same action. In the NDOH sheet, tap + Also record mediation date and fill in:
- Mediation date — the date of the mediation session (required to save the entry)
- Mediation centre — optional
- Mediator name — optional
Clash indicators are shown for both the NDOH date and the mediation date before you save. When saved, a mediation session hearing is created for that date alongside the recorded NDOH.
